The Japanese Casino Regulatory Commission, the agency tasked with drafting the nation’s casino regulations, has outlined nine popular games that will be permitted to be offered inside Japan’s first Las Vegas/Macau-style gambling venues.
Locally popular games such as pachinko, pachislot, and mahjong notably did not make it into the list.
This does not come as too big of a surprise as Japanese lawmakers have repeatedly pointed out over the years that nationals should
not be the primary target group of the nation’s future casinos and that efforts should be focused on attracting foreign players.
