Will Japan’s upcoming casinos hurt the Singapore gaming market?

Japan could potentially legalize casinos by end-2012, says DMG OSK.

According to a conference call highlight report from DMG OSK, Japan could potentially legalize casinos by end-2012 when the gaming bill is slated for voting in the spring parliamentary session. Expectations are for only one or two casino licences to be up for grabs if approved, and management has indicated keen interest in bidding for one of the licences.

“Although competition will be intense, RWS’ solid balance sheet and growing global presence and branding will certainly place it in a strong competitive position. South Korea is another market that management has indicated interest in, should the country liberalize its casino industry,” DMG added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
