Casinos could appear in Japan within five years if the government's move to legalise gambling in the country proves successful.
A cross-party coalition of 150 lawmakers are in support of legalising gambling in Japan and have given their backing to legislation that could see the first casinos built on the island.
The move has been partly driven by gambling interests in America as well as the search for new industries which could help push the country out of its economic slump, the Wall Street Journal reported. (insidejapantours.com)
