Legislation
Japan – Casino visits to be limited to three per week in Japan
By Phil - 16 February 2018
Japan’s future gaming legislation will look to limit casino visitation to around 10 visits per month with a maximum of three per week.
The plan, presented by the government to the lawmakers of the Liberal Democratic Party and its junior coalition partner Komeito, Japanese nationals and foreigners living in Japan would be subject to the limitations.
Casino customers would be issued with My Number identity cards by the government, which will have an embedded IC chip to track each individual’s visits to the casino.
A size limit has also been set on the casino at 15,000 square meters with the facilities not allowed to exceed three per cent of the land space of an integrated resort.
