According to organizer Clarion Gaming, the confirmed attendees for May’s Congress include Lawrence Ho, chairman and CEO of Melco Resorts and Entertainment. “With Japanese Integrated Resorts nearing as an investment reality, there has never been a more exciting time to participate in the Japan Gaming Congress,” he said, according to a statement from Clarion Gaming.
Melco Resorts and Entertainment has expressed keen interest in investing in Japan on several occasions in recent years. Earlier this year, Ho said that there was no limit on how much the company was prepared to invest, describing it as a “priceless opportunity”.
The event will see key Japanese authorities in attendance, including figures from the central government and several prefectures.
The 2018 conference will tackle a variety of subjects, including updates to the much-anticipated legislation related to problem gambling and general industry topics such as business procurement, non-gaming entertainment amenities, legal issues, and other issues of interest.
