Japan’s draft regulations for casinos, undergoing public consultation until May 9, are currently stringent in terms of ensuring integrity of casino operations, and are compatible with current gaming industry practice in major regulated markets, industry observers told GGRAsia. But there are still several areas of the draft regulations that require further clarity, the people indicated.
The Japan Casino Regulatory Commission announced on April 2 a draft of its intended enforcement regulations. They cover the basics of casino operations and oversight measures, among other things.
Japanese scholar Toru Mihara told GGRAsia, the aim of the regulations was to be “sufficiently stringent” to ensure the “integrity and safety” of casino operations at integrated resorts (IRs), as large-scale casino complexes with tourism facilities are known in that nation.
