"We need to introduce casino regulations of the highest global standards, and take every measure to address various concerns such as addiction, money laundering and what effects it might have on young people,” Abe said at the meeting. "I want to create fabulous, Japan-style integrated resorts that have clean casinos.”
On Thursday, the eight-member expert panel has started discussing a broad framework for possible regulations. They hope to come up with results by around summer so that it could be drafted into a bill to promote integrated resorts.
The panel discussion revolved around whether to use a permit system that would cover the types of games available and their rules, casino entrance restrictions and a system to pay the national and local governments.
The panel is also studying a government
proposal for Japan’s anticipated casinos to include broader tourists amenities,
such as house spaces for conferences and exhibition halls.
