“The City of Dreams Mediterranean project has experienced delays due to some difficulties that we have encountered with our contractors. At this point in time, we expect to open in early second quarter 2023, subject to regulatory approvals. However, this remains a fluid situation and we continue to look at ways to expedite the progress.”

So if the press releases are true, the casino at City of Dreams will have...

...over 100 tables and 1,000 state-of-the-art slot machines on its gaming floor, measuring 81,000 square feet.

Europoes current largest casino is Casino di Campione in Como, Italy which houses...

...9 floors holding over 500 slots and 56 traditional casino table games

and

600,000 square feet of casino.

So by those standards City of Dreams will be much bigger in terms of tables and slots but smaller footprint wise. There is, however, not a huge amount in official press about table numbers etc and the information on casino sites seems to be a few years out of date with no recent updates. I think we may have to wait and see if it takes the title. It doesn't seem to be trading on that as it's unique selling point at the moment.

New press release sharing an event to be held in June 2023 so looks like they are confident of being finished this year.
Plus it included a piece of concept art I hadn't seen before which matches almost exactly what we see under construction today.

City of Dreams Mediterranean, Cyprus’ first integrated resort (IR) and the largest in Europe and the wider region, is pleased to announce that it will be bringing to Cyprus the prestigious European Dealer Championship next year. As Europe’s longest-running competition of its kind, participants from across the continent will display their skills in the ‘art of dealing’ at City of Dreams Mediterranean in June 2023.

Organised by the European Casino Association (ECA), the 15th edition of the championship will be hosted in Europe’s upcoming grandest integrated resort, overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Attendees will have the opportunity to see croupiers display their talents in the most popular games of American Roulette and Blackjack, as well as those who have mastered chipping, card handling, cutting chips, pushing stacks, and mathematics.
