Japan’s ruling parties reintroduced on Friday a bill calling for the implementation of responsible gambling measures and tools the nation’s government will possibly be looking to pass the bill before the end of this year’s legislative session of the Diet on December 9.
The passage of that bill is considered a necessary step before Japanese lawmakers move on to crafting, introducing, and adopting the Integrated Resort Implementation Bill, or the legislative piece that will set out the rules under which the country’s casino industry will be run.
The bill will seek the implementation of measures that would control the gambling environment in the country after the opening of its first casinos, and would minimize gambling addiction risks among residents that could arise from the upcoming gambling expansion.
The future of Japan’s casino industry has intrigued the global gambling community due to the ambitious forecasts that it could be worth between $10 billion and $25 billion once first casino resorts open doors.
