LVS is the biggest casino operator in the world and had been very keen on establishing an integrated casino resort in Japan. The fact that LVS decided to drop out of the race does not bode well for the Japanese market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of industry experts and observers believe that LVS\u2019 decision was likely caused by the murkiness of Japan\u2019s plans with respect to gambling regulation. No information on how Japan plans to regulate its casino industry was ever released, which may have scared LVS away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Japan\u2019s Gambling Rules Still up in the Air<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the vast majority of gambling firms, LVS has suffered tremendous losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic cutting into their revenues. The massive cost of building an integrated resort in Japan (estimated at $10 billion) may prevent many firms from committing without knowing the precise regulations that will govern their local operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan currently is in its first phase of liberalization for its gambling market. Three resorts will be allowed during this phase. The first six months of 2021 are already booked for local governments\u2019 applications to host an integrated resort to be reviewed. The deadline for this process is on July 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Local Governments Prepare for Bids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Local governments and their respective integrated resort partners are rapidly approaching the application process and following a draft set of guidelines released in September 2019. The Japanese government has so far not provided clear guidance on the process. According to a spokesperson, the government is currently canvassing opinions from local governments regarding their upcoming applications, to ascertain their progress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BCV noted that the government may order an extension on the deadline if they find that local governments\u2019 bids had been delayed by <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19japan.com\">COVID-19<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Japanese marketing consultancy firm believes that the recent exit of Las Vegas Sands Corp.
