Hard Rock International prepares to open Tomakomai office

Hard Rock International, a casino operator based at the United States, has put their sites on Japan, preparing to open an office at Tomakomai, to be a contender for casino licensing at the area. According to a senior executive within the company, Hard Rock will be opening an office inside the Kokkaido prefecture in only a few months.

Executives of the company feel that the Hard Rock is placed well to join with local partners for a gambling license, based on the present presence of the Hard Rock inside the entertainment sector of the area.

Hard Rock reportedly picked the Tomakomai area as a result of place as a workplace could supply locals with information about the casino gambling industry in addition to promote countermeasures for gaming addiction.

Japan is preparing to begin in the casino sector as the Integrated Resort Implementation Bill passed within the country’s parliament lower chamber in June. The ordinary session has been extended to give the governing body time to pass the bill before a set deadline of July 22^nd. The bill would allow for the country to open up three casino resorts, with Hard Rock International hoping to become involved with the procedure.

Areas that are being considered for an integrated hotel include Hokkaido, Osaka, Wakayama and Yokohama, based on information given by investment analysts. Reportedly, the Hard Rock has an edge over their opponents to receive a license in Hokkaido, based on information from Nomura, a broker based in Japan.
