That is why Japan, which was previously entirely refractory or opposed to the existence of gambling establishments on its territory became very attentive to the possibility of an asset casinos to promote tourism. Local authorities are even now to look at the policy relating thereto to revive the economy which is currently on a standstill.
Millions of tourists will be attracted by the casino operations, including Chinese, and this would generate a significant income and regular reinvigorate the country's finances. Japanese remain faithful to their morale and will not allow access to future casinos as foreign visitors. Some protest is heard but will not consistently affect the general opinion. The case of Japan is a representative of Asian countries, however, China is more strict. Chinese players have until here no more alternatives than to go to Macau or outside its borders to play in a casino. Many of them have a reputation of great players.
