The government is set to begin another round of applications for locations seeking to develop integrated resorts including casinos, following Osaka’s approval in 2023.
Under the integrated resort implementation law, enacted to promote tourism featuring longer stays, up to three locations can host integrated resort facilities, leaving two slots available.
The selection process will allow local governments to apply for integrated resort development for six months from May 2027. So far, Hokkaido and others have shown interest in hosting such facilities.
