The recent announcement of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s resignation has put a question mark on the future of his aggressive economic program, dubbed “Abenomics,” which includes the creation of a new integrated resort casino market.
Keeping its hope of hosting a massive gaming event alive amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan’s Nagasaki prefecture is going to commence the process of recruiting an integrated resort (IR) partner by the end of this month.
Osaka officials confirmed on Thursday that they pushed back the request-for-proposal (RFP) deadline for Integrated Resort (IR) project by another six months, a move that is expected to delay the opening of a casino in the city until 2028.
