Partouche Ends Partnership with Oshidori

Reading Time: < 1 minute

French casino operator Groupe Partouche SA has confirmed that it has terminated a partnership with Oshidori International Holdings Ltd concerning the latter’s effort for involvement in a possible casino resort in Nagasaki prefecture, Japan.

No reason was given for the decision to terminate the agreement, nor any detail on the nature of the agreement.

Partouche, listed on Euronext in Paris, was founded in 1973, operates an aggregate of 42 casinos – most of them in France – and employs almost 4000 people.

Nagasaki governor Hodo Nakamura was cited as saying a potential delay in the RFP was linked to the fact that Japan’s national so-called basic policy on IRs was yet to be published.

A maximum of three IRs will be allowed nationally in the first phase of Japan’s market liberalisation.
