Japan bets for slots

Japan market is more open to offer slot games once casino law becomes effective.

Japan.- Global Market Advisors released a comprehensive analysis about the upcoming Japanese gaming market, White Paper: Japan Integrated Resorts. As casinos have been legalised, although legislations have not taken effect yet, the international gaming industry is getting ready for future businesses in the highly profitable Asian market and the leading consulting firm published potential options to develop successful services.

“The single greatest misconception a casino operator can make is to assume that Japanese gamers will play the same games as those players that frequent Macau,” revealed Global Market Advisors’ study. “The Chinese have a table game centric gaming culture and have long embraced Baccarat and Sic Bo. While the Japanese enjoy Oicho-Kabu, they have a long-established history as a machine-centric gaming culture, as they are enthusiastic Pachinko players.”

The casino industry consulting firm assured that local players are more likely to enjoy original slot machines games based on the regional culture. Japanese manufacturers would be able to set major businesses in the market. “Even before the initial enabling legislation was passed, government officials in Japan were studying all kinds of regulatory and business structures. But it will probably be closer to Singapore, with one casino in Osaka, one in Tokyo and/or Yokohama, and possibly some smaller casinos in secondary markets,” added gaming consultant David Rittvo in an article published at the official website.

Global Market Advisors’ White Paper: Japan Integrated Resorts reports in its 114 pages latest information about the marketing and business possibilities in the future industry. “The gaming market revenue potential ranges from an initial two large integrated resort market at $12.5 billion in revenue to a full build-out of six different sites at $24.2 billion,” revealed the report.
