For those not in tune to the Casino/Gambling industry, Japan has never had a gambling industry compared to those of other developed countries. With the help of the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), who has prepared an in-depth study on creating a new casino/gambling industry, Japan is finally taking the first steps to challenge other gambling powerhouses such as Macau. It will no doubt be interesting and instructive to see how a country such as Japan transitions into this highly competitive marketplace.
