Reading Time: < 1 minute

Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment Inc., the Philippines-based casino operator, is planning to start an office and obtain casino license in Japan.

Its parent company Universal Entertainment Corp. has announced the news on Wednesday through a statement on its website. “[Tiger Resort’s] Japan Branch will be established for research and analysis of the Integrated Resort Implementation Bill of Japan and study of the potential of a casino resort business in Japan in the wake of the enactment of said Bill in July 2018 with a view to becoming a future business contact (such as customer solicitation and marketing activities),” reads the statement.

The tentative date to register the brand was set for today, and the company said that Toji Takeuchi will be the Branch Representative for the company in Japan. The country legalised casinos in late 2016, but is still discussing legislation for integrated resorts.

Tiger Resort Leisure operates the Okada Manila casino in Manila, one of three integrated casino-resorts in the Philippine capital’s version of the Las Vegas gaming strip.
