Kobayashi said he had a deep relationship with the 우리카지노 industry and Akimoto was also supported by Pachinko operators.

But Pachinko's market is gradually declining due to measures to limit the chances of winning high-priced prizes and its image as "old-time entertainment."

 

It has been on the decline since 1995 when sales exceeded 30 trillion yen in its heyday. As a result, the complex resort project, including casinos, began to draw attention in the 2000s.

In 2002, LDP lawmakers launched an "alliance of lawmakers who think about casino and the international tourism industry," moving toward the lifting of casinos in Japan.

In 2010, a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers, called the "Casino Federation," was born, and a law was passed around them to eventually lift casinos in 2018.

All six lawmakers in the casino scandal belong to the "Casino Federation."
After the casino lifting law was passed, global casino companies, including the U.S.-based MGM Resort International, rushed to tap into Japan.

Japan also plans to drastically lift related regulations to attract the casino industry and complete a combined resort including casinos in three locations by 2024.

Euh's remarks are seen as an intention that the construction of an open casino in Saemangeum could be a primary contributor to the rising demand for Saemangeum International Airport, considering such casino-related conditions at home and abroad.

Although the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport cannot control the casino license, it draws attention as it is mentioned by a high-ranking official regarding the demand for international airports where construction is in full swing.

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance held a financial business evaluation committee meeting on April 27 and approved a review of the appropriateness of the Saemangeum International Airport project plan as originally proposed. Saemangeum's new airport will invest 780 billion won in total project costs to build a 2,500-meter runway and a passenger terminal with a total area of 2,056,000 square meters. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2028.

However, the results of the economic analysis (B/C) were only 0.479 in the "Samangum New Airport Pre-Profit Review Study" service conducted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

In other words, the convenience and benefits of spending 100 won are only 47 won. B/C determines that a business is feasible only when it is greater than 1.0.

This project is Moon Jae-in the government for balanced national development initiative started by a preliminary feasibility study of being subject to the exemption if project would be tough, not included in the business.The dominant view sees it.

Moreover, the new Saemangeum airport was a project that raised controversy over overlapping investments as there were Muan and Cheongju airports struggling with deficits nearby.

"Unlike roads and railways, demand is very important for airport construction," aviation experts said. "If roads and railways are built, vehicles will be driven somehow, but if the airport has fewer passengers, it can turn into a hippopotamus where airlines turn a blind eye and eat taxes," he pointed out.

In particular, the new airport in Saemangeum has been under growing controversy as demand for international passengers in Sata has fallen by half compared to the results of preliminary surveys in North Jeolla Province.

This is because casinos could develop into a huge industry that absorbs not only existing demand in Japan but also tourist demand.

China's 500 , known for distributing money to Japanese politicians, is an online lottery business operator and has sought business opportunities in Japan even though it has no experience in running casinos.

Shinzo Abe's government, which has been pushing for the complex resort business as one of its economic growth strategies, is showing its willingness to continue pursuing the casino business even in the scandal.

The Japanese government launched the "Casino Management Committee," an organization that oversees complex resort operators, including casinos, on Thursday as cassbet.com scheduled.
