IAG NOV 2019年11月 亞博匯 12 亞博匯早報 BREAKFAST BRIEFS JAPAN’S CASINO REGULATOR TO BE ESTABLISHED ON 7 JANUARY 2020 日本賭場管理委員會將於2020年1月7日成立 JAPAN’S casino regulatory body, the Casino Administration Committee, will be established on 7 January 2020, the government has announced. While the original plan was to establish the committee by 1 July 2019, it was delayed at the time for a variety of reasons, including societal concerns about increased problem gambling. The IR Development Act will be established by 26 January. The committee will oversee casino licensing and operations as an external bureau of the cabinet. It will also be responsible for administrative procedures such as revoking licenses in cases of violations of the law. It will be comprised of one committee chair and four members and will likely require approval of the diet. Members will serve terms of five years. Japan has promised that its IR industry will have the most stringent casino regulations in the world and the Casino Administration Committee will have full review and regulatory powers to ensure this. The licensing procedure will include strict background checks for key personnel. Nevada and other leading casino jurisdictions will serve as a reference point for how these background investigations will be conducted. 日本 政府日前宣佈將於2020年1月7日成立 賭場監管機構，即賭場管理委員會。 雖然根據最早的計劃，該委員會應於 2019年7月1日之前成立，但由於種種原因， 包括審會對於日益增多的問題博彩的擔憂， 該計劃當時被擱置。《IR整備法案》將於1月 26日之前制定。 該委員會將作為內閣的一個外部機構， 監管賭場的發牌及運營。其還將負責行政程 序，如在違反法律的情況下吊銷牌照。它將由 一名委員會主席和四名成員組成，人事任命 可能需要得到國會的批准。委員會成員任期 為五年。 日本已承諾其IR行業將擁有全球最嚴格 的賭場監管規定，而賭場管理委員會將被賦 予全面的審查及監管權力以確保這一點。 發放牌照程序將包括對關鍵人物進行嚴 格的背景調查。背景調查將以內華達州和其 他主要賭場管轄區的方式作為參考。
