everal international casino operators, including Las Vegas Sands – the parent of Macau-based casino operators Sands China – have already expressed interest in Japan. US-based Wynn Resorts, which controls Wynn Macau, has also hinted its interest.

It broke ranks with a 140-member cross-party group that wants to delay such a move until after upper house elections scheduled for July.
