Online casinos getting more popular in Japan
Japan has very strict gambling laws; gambling was banned in the entire country under the criminal code ACT.
However, different gambling forms such as pachinko, lottery, horse racing, and football pools are legally accepted as gambling forms. The most popular mechanical game in Japan is the pachinko parlor that can closely be related to gambling.
Any traditional gambling casino operating in Japan is illegal. With the limitation of physical gambling casinos, the majority of people are turning to online casinos.
Most online casinos provide players with a chance to enjoy games such as slots, blackjack, roulette, to mention but a few. The Japanese government isn't too keen on offshore online casinos. Offshore online casinos offer a big market with a huge-revenue generating potential; that's why online casinos in Japan are opening their doors to take bets every day.
