Advertising for Japan's casinos to be limited to international arrival areas at travel hubs

The government decided Tuesday it will allow casino advertisements to be displayed only in international arrival areas of air and sea terminals that are used by visitors from abroad. The rule is part of an enforcement order for the law enacted last year that legalized integrated resorts featuring casinos as the government aims to attract more international visitors and stimulate regional economies.Casino ads will be banned in all other areas outside the vicinity of each integrated resort. The restriction reflects the government’s aim to reduce Japanese citizens’ exposure to such ads in an effort to ward off gambling addiction.
