Bloomberry to enter bidding for Wakayama Casino

Bloomberry Resort Corp., a Philippines-based casino and entertainment company, is planning to bid for the casino resort in Wakayama, Japan. The proposed prefecture casino resort is widely hailed as a pivotal moment in the Japanese gambling history. The entry of a well-known company such as Bloomberry is justifying the hype.

In its strive to provide players worldwide with more gaming options and set foot in the future gambling field of a new market such as Japan, the casino developer recently expressed its desire to place a bid for a casino license and become the next developer in the region.

Ever since the early autumn of 2017, the Diet has been working on the idea that Japan should have its own gambling field which to have the potential to attract players from around the world and provide them with offerings living up to their expectations. Due to the proximity of some of the most renowned gambling hubs to the likings of Macau and Singapore, this move might prove to be a substantial step in the right direction, since it is expected to bring a steady flow of gaming revenue and tourists willing to give their luck a try at a new gambling location.

According to the estimations and with the pace that conversations are going no so far the year 2023 could see Japan’s first casino resort launch. In a recent statement regarding the future operation of the casino developer the president of Bloomberry’s Japan unit, Takeshi Hojo made it clear that the casino developer was one of the seven casino operators which had a recent meeting with the Governor of Wakayama Yoshinobu Nisaka in relation to the future auction for casino licenses.

The company has been looking forward to this moment for quite some time now, ever since it opened its office in Tokyo back in 2014. Bloomberry does not seem reluctant to claim its spot in the Japanese market. Even though there would be many international casino operators placing their bids once the auction is open, this does not discourage Bloomberry from participating in it.

The Governor is also interested in increasing the efforts towards claiming an integrated resort for the prefecture, which is not the first choice. As it is known the current favourite of many people interested in the field is Yumeshima which gained the lead in the recent months as a preferred location for the first integrated resort.
