In a significant move that paves the way for the opening of Japan’s first legal casino, the Diet on Friday enacted the Integrated Resort Implementation Bill. Under the new law, integrated resorts, will be opened at up to three locations in the country for the time being. Regarding that significant news for the international gaming community, AGA’s CEO Geoff Freeman issued the following statement:
“Today, Japan took a giant step toward strengthening its economy, attracting international travelers and implementing stringent gaming regulation that protects consumers and eliminates criminal activity.”
“In the years ahead, Japanese communities will realize the many integrated resorts-related benefits that have enhanced dozens of major destinations around the globe.”
“The gaming industry is excited to help Japan achieve its economic goals and eager to partner with the governments and people of Japan to build a world class gaming market and regulatory system.”
