Just last year in 2018, Japan managed to clear the legal hurdles to obtain their Integrated Resort (IR) which is a nomenclature for casino resorts.
The Integrated Resort project refers to a comprehensive entertainment complex that incorporates facilities like shopping malls, theaters, hotels and theme parks. These types of resorts should be ready and developed by 2025 also thanks to the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
In addition to being a potential hot spot for casinos, Japan is also a very attractive destination for international visitors. Based on the reports from Japan’s National Tourism Organization, Japan welcomed nearly 16 million visitors in the first half of 2018, which is up 16% from last year!
Given the importance of the region, there will be a Japan Gaming Congress being held on May 16-17, 2019 at the Conrad Tokyo in Japan.

Is Japan the Next Big Hot Spot Destination for iGaming Operators?Is there anyone among you from Japan? Can you tell us about the situation of the gambling industry in the country as of the present? Or perhaps can you tell us if you agree with the idea that Japan is set to become a big hot spot iGaming destination?
Cmon man, don't try promoting your website that way, better to publish articles with solid informations. Japan won't become big destination for iGaming operators at least in near future. If we talk about attractivness of countries, then France is first where Japan is 100% lose, then comes Italy, England, Germany and others.
