Japan will limit the number of visits per player to casinos that will open in so-called integrated resorts in the country as a measure to counter gambling addiction, the government said Tuesday.
The restriction is among the countermeasures included in a draft of basic plans for the planned integrated resorts, which feature casinos.
The land, infrastructure, transport and tourism minister will give approval for integrated resorts and supervise them to ensure that they generate positive economic effect, the draft said.
The government plans to submit a bill for the establishment of the integrated resorts to an extraordinary session of the Diet, Japan's parliament, in autumn.
