A green light for casinos to operate in Japan is unlikely to have a significant impact on the gaming industry in Macau, Davis Fong Ka Chio, who heads the Institute for the Study of Commercial Gaming at the University of Macau (UM), said this week.
Fong made the remarks in an interview with The Macau Post Daily on Wednesday in his office on the UM campus in Hengqin.
The lower house of Japan’s bicameral parliament on Tuesday passed a bill to lift the country’s longstanding ban on casino operations in the world’s third-largest economy.
