Illegal Casinos In Tokyo Shutdown

With casino resorts in Japan off the table for at least two years the countries law enforcement agencies have seen a rise in illegal casinos opening up. Over the weekend police raided an apartment building in Tokyo and arrested six people involved in gambling on baccarat.

It is not clear if those also arrested included the gamblers themselves along with those operating the illegal casino but the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said that the casino had been under surveillance since January and was believed to be taking around $66,500 per month.

Law enforcement agencies have said that even during the COVID-19 lockdown illegal casinos were running and have closed multiple gambling dens over previous months.

The government is currently trying hard to stamp out these illegal casinos in the run up to the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
