January 19, 2021 In Japan and the government for Wakayama Prefecture has reportedly announced that only two firms participated in the now-closed request for proposal (RFP) stage of its plan to secure one of the nation’s coming trio of integrated casino resort licenses. According to a report from Inside Asian Gaming, the small Honshu jurisdiction is hoping to take advantage of federal legislation passed in the summer of 2018 so as to be given permission to host one of three giant integrated casino resorts. The source detailed that these Las Vegas-style venues are to come complete with minimum $10 billion price tags and feature multiple hotels, exhibition facilities and retail elements in addition to a casino.
