April, the Japanese government marked a historic turning point by granting a license to operate a casino in Osaka, located in the west of the country. The decision was welcomed by a Japanese-foreign consortium comprising US operator MGM (40%), local financial group Orix (40%) and several local partners. Osaka, a city that had long aspired to host a gaming establishment, was preparing to become a world-renowned integrated resort.<\/p>\n<p>In September, however, the news shook the region. Osaka Prefecture has announced the postponement of the opening of the casino project, originally scheduled for autumn-winter 2029, to autumn 2030. This slight delay was attributed to an additional initial investment of 190 billion yen ($1.30 billion), according to information from the Kyodo news agency. The project&#8217;s main investors, US casino operator MGM Resorts International and local partner Orix Corp, are determined to make the complex a success despite the delay.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7e3579 elementor-widget elementor-widget-block-bonus-sidebar\" data-id=\"b7e3579\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"block-bonus-sidebar.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"lucky-draw-area side-card-shape draw-comon color-bg\">\n        <div class=\"lucky-draw-badge\">\n            <span class=\"badge badge-sm color-badge-sidebar\">\n                Bonus de bienvenue            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <picture>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/planet-casinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/lucky8-white-logo.webp\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" class=\"entered lazyloaded\">\n        <\/picture>\n                    <span class=\"badge badge-md badge-dark\">Jusqu'\u00e0 1500\u20ac<\/span>\n\n                            <p>Bonus 100%<\/p>\n\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/go.azure-affiliates.com\/visit\/?bta=200028&brand=lucky8\" class=\" btn-color-top-banner btn btn-theme btn-radious btn-nano\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Get my Bonus<\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d879e13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d879e13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Osaka On the Road to Historic Transformation with the Opening of its First Casino<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6fb2cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6fb2cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Osaka&#8217;s casino history began a quarter of a century ago, when the then governor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ishihara, considered introducing a casino to his city in 1999. Since then, Japan has weighed up the pros and cons of the gaming industry. Public authorities fear problems of excessive gambling and potential scandals, which has slowed down the approval process.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Osaka has been persistent in working with foreign players in this field, while other Japanese cities, including Tokyo, have been reluctant to follow suit. Tokyo, in particular, has been preoccupied with hosting the 2021 Olympic Games, which has delayed its bid for a casino.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this delay, Osaka remains determined to realize its dream of becoming a major gaming hub in Asia. Should Tokyo finally decide to have its own casino, the budget would be less than half that of Osaka.

The city has attracted enthusiastic local and international investors, with a leading Japanese-foreign consortium comprising US operator MGM and local financial group Orix, as well as numerous local partners.<\/p>\n<p>However, the news in September that the opening of the casino had been postponed tempered this enthusiasm somewhat. Originally scheduled for autumn-winter 2029, inauguration has been pushed back to autumn 2030 due to an additional initial investment of 190 billion yen. While this delay has disappointed many observers, it also demonstrates the investors&#8217; firm commitment to making this project a lasting success.<\/p>\n<p>The history of the casino in Osaka reflects the challenges Japan has faced in its attempt to penetrate the gaming industry. Public authorities have long been preoccupied with the potential problems of excessive gambling and scandals, slowing down the approval process. What&#8217;s more, Osaka has shown a remarkable willingness to work with foreign players, which has helped bring this project to fruition, whereas other Japanese cities have been reluctant to follow suit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7717901 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7717901\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/planet-casinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mgmosaka.jpg.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"mgmosaka.jpg\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTk2NiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3BsYW5ldC1jYXNpbm9zLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyM1wvMDlcL21nbW9zYWthLmpwZy53ZWJwIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/planet-casinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mgmosaka.jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-5966\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planet-casinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mgmosaka.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/planet-casinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mgmosaka.jpg-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/planet-casinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mgmosaka.jpg-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/planet-casinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mgmosaka.jpg-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f9f55b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f9f55b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Osaka remains determined to make its dream a reality, and the budget allocated to this project far exceeds that of any other competitor, including Tokyo.
