(Japan).- Dr. Kazuaki Sasaki, an assistant professor at the Nihon University College of Economics, director of Integrated Resorts Gaming Academy and a strong proponent of the Integrated Resorts Promotion Bill, said that Abe’s re-election sparks hopes that casinos legalization in Japan might get approved by the end of 2015.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stated that he will do his best to bolster his country’s economy by means of his suite of measures known as “Abenomics.”
Casino legalization in Japan would be a two-statute process. After an enabling bill permitting the principle of casino resorts, a second piece of legislation—the implementation law—would detail the specifics, including how they are administered and regulated.
