Japan as the Next Big Destination for iGaming Operators?

[coin-investor]

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 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?

Why not Japan, they are a beautiful city with good technology to run an iGaming I cannot think of a better country that could challenge Japan when it comes to hosting or becoming an iGaming destination, they are fully equipped I'm sure Japan will become successful in running that iGaming, looking forward to having more news on this.

Japan is a quite unique country and Im not entirely sure its as open to tourism as many places because tourists can be so disruptive and even disrespectful which is contrary to their culture.   Every country wants tourism in theory but its not free money, it comes with a burden on society to deal with these outsiders.
As far as developing online hosting I can see that as more likely and I believe Japan for some time will be favourable to crypto and will not change their weak currency policy as its been that way for decades now

Agree, they kept their traditions and cultures being preserved and for that even their tourist spots needs to  be well taking cared, they will not allow outsiders to ruined what they've already have decades ago, they value things and it will stay that way.

Regarding to iGaming, Japan have also advance knowledge with tight securities which can be an advantage as they can facilitate this business properly
and can secures investors/gamblers money in the right manners.

Japan must be really desperate for new tourists and new investors,in order to provide such liberal gambling legislation and infrastructure.I guess that their economic growth isn't enough so they are moving towards lucrative industries such as gambling.

A developed country like Japan really needs to think for adoption like this. We know that the industry of gambling continues to soar high so its a good chance now for Japan to be a new gambling hub in Asia and I believe this will be supported by many Gamblers in Japan.

I read Japan has some cities and roads so clean even the gutters contain fish in them.   Thats a pretty foreign almost impossible idea to most of us from the majority of cities in the world, there is often litter everywhere and dirt and pollution that would wipe out anything sensitive like this quite quickly.

I imagine Japan similar to China needs to declare a special area of development and commerce on gambling and open tourism so that the wider country is not so disturbed as it might be otherwise.

I'm not Japanese but let me just share my thoughts. It's very weird that the Japanese government suddenly made a U-turn regarding their tough laws against gambling, it's a criminal offense as far as I know. Neighboring countries like Macau and even the Philippines and Singapore is the destination if you wanted to play on casino's on the Asian region so it really surprises me to see that they are now opening their doors.

I do really like as Japanese government has to allow igamble in the country and since Japan is one country that is highly disposed to cryptocurrencies and blockchain I do be that most of the blockchain related gambling sites are going to take advantage of this to expand their business.

I tried to read up past comments or post if there are Japan citizens who do speak out about this matter but it seems theres no one who can verify such current

gambling situation into this country but since we can make presumptions basing on their possible actions that they would made ahead.If they do consider out
to be a big hot spot on igaming then theres no doubt that they would embrace it and opening Japans doors for operators would be a good chance to make business.

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.

Betting on horse and motor racing is legal while other gamblings are not--according to Wikipedia.
It is strange that gambling is illegal in a  country as developed as Japan.  I guess they tolerate this one because it is a combination of gambling and gaming

[STT]

Japan had a strange mix of repressive laws till fairly recent years, like I can remember when I was younger they banned any skirt being above the knee and police would actively patrol and stop citizens not obeying this important law.
At the same time Japan was one first places in the world to legalise abortion in the 1948 for any reason during pregnancy.   This was out of fear for a population crisis where the reality is now Japan has lack of young people afaik

I can well believe they have plenty more quirky rules still, big problem I can think of one of the worlds harshest drug policies

But I heard Japan is anticipating the legalization of casino gambling in the country, which is exactly why it already started its plans on building integrated resorts. Soon enough, the country will have a booming brick-and-mortar gambling industry, followed by a bigger online betting service sector.

For igaming operators Japan is a best place and even all those places where no restriction on gambling is great. In such places both the online and traditional casinos are open and of full time availability. Its great news like other technological achievements Japan is good to be the next destination for igaming operators which will provide more opportunities and will make it easy for gamblers on advance level.

Nobody can be done any better than Japan, the country is a tech and financial giant, they always miles ahead in any competition in terms of technology with them hosting iGaming Operators Japan has all that it takes to succeed.

Yes there is no doubt in the fact that Japan is unique when it comes to technological innovation and making money with technology. There have been so many international conferences on iGaming in Japan lately and I think that the talent of the online gamers is insane in the country. Of course this conference will result in great interest of investors and gamers from around the world in Japan.

Japan has always been pioneer in accepting technologies. They are the ones who were first to accept crypto and make it legalize. Many tourists will be attracted  to Japan and they must be aiming to become the gaming hub of the region.

That is because Japan can open their mind about new technology and they can accept the new things that already come. They have a limited source, but they never give up to learn something new, and they will use it if they found the benefits. We know that Japan is already one of the gaming company among the other country and that country is familiar with gambling games too. Besides that, Japan was one of the countries that accepting crypto besides Korea and that will bring more adoption from the people.

If you compare Japan with the developing countries, you would find a gap of 200 years which means that Japan has been growing very efficiently especially when it comes to IT and eGaming. This conference is going to focus the entire world’s attention over Japan and Japan will get huge investment as a result of conducting such conferences. Currently Japan has a third spot in the list of countries famous for iGaming.

Japan is very attractive market for the iGaming operators so they will do their best to get into that market.

Many younger people from Japan like to play the game, and they are a very good player. And if the iGaming can give many benefits to them, I am sure that the market for the iGaming will explode in Japan and they will get more player from Japan. Besides that, if that is successful in attracting more player in Japan, I am sure that in the other country, it could attract more new players too.

Yes this is going to be very epic in days to come. Japan has been among the top gaming countries in the world and is ranked on position number three #3 in the list of the leading iGaming countries around the world. I think that this conference will bring some good amount of investment in Japan and will further improve the figure if the country on international forum.
