Japan's casino landscape is evolving, with the country poised to embrace integrated resorts featuring casinos as part of a broader entertainment experience. Following the legalization of casino gaming in 2018, major international operators are eyeing opportunities in cities like Osaka and Yokohama. These resorts aim to attract both domestic and international tourists, offering not just gaming but also shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. However, the development faces challenges, including regulatory hurdles and public concerns about gambling addiction, as Japan navigates its unique cultural relationship with gaming.
