A Liberal Democratic Party team in charge of drafting a bill to outline rules under which casino gambling will operate will meet for the first time later this month.

The team, led by Lower House member Takeshi Iwaya, will examine a host of issues related to establishing so-called integrated resort (IR) facilities. The resorts include casinos as well as hotels, shopping centers and convention halls.

The team will propose rules related to casino design and entrance restrictions, as well as discuss policies to deal with problem gamblers and money laundering.
