Japan Could Use Robots In Casino Resorts From Next Year

As the investment for robots is surging, Japan persists to roll out its robot program in additional industrial segments. Japan is stated to be one of the most rapidly aging regions in the developed world and the country is one of the popular tourist places for people from countries such as South Korea, China, the U.S., Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Australia. Nevertheless, as the number of workers is declining and the country is struggling to address the demand of a changing society, Japan has begun to introduce robots in offices, schools, restaurants, and nursing homes. At present, robots are being used for operating organizations in Japan, functioning as security guards with regular patrols and entertainers in nursing homes.

Robots are also expected to be introduced in the legal gambling industry in the country from next year. Under the country’s robotic program the robots will be used in other areas, including the hospitality and gaming sectors. Roger A Søraa—Researcher at the NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology)—asserted, “Japan is facing most important demographic challenges owing to the aging problem, low fertility rate, and a declining population. There is a severe lack of healthcare workers in elderly care facilities and hospitals, as there are not sufficient humans to carry out the tasks in a manner they used to be done.”

Major Development In The Casino Industry To Boom Japan’s Casino Market

After many years of the contest, Japan legalized casino gambling and paved the avenue for three casino resorts to be built. This article contains a list with the most reputable casinos that you can play online as Japanese player—Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd., MGM Resorts Japan LLC, Las Vegas Sands Corp., Caesars Entertainment Japan LLC, and Wynn Resorts Ltd. These players are lining up for grabbing this opportunity to get on the building boom.

There is still a long way to go, but talks amid Japanese firms and Western operators will become more significant now that the administration has given the green signal.

Legalization Of Gambling Resorts To Boost Employment & Robot Deployment

Alluring the local workforce will be difficult especially given that many regular casinos or hotel jobs tend to pay lower. There are no indications big gaming firms will want to surge salaries to a higher scale to attract the workers.

According to Toru Mihara—from Osaka University of Commerce—a single new IR (integrated resort), featuring convention space, gaming floors, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues, could need tens of thousands of employees. To sustain in the industry, the gaming operators can try to carry out job fairs in overseas sites or use wide-ranging employment referral networks. The companies can employ unskilled workers and then train them for the new position. Even if the casinos hire the employees, it will be challenging to retain them, especially once they get experience. To deal with the unemployment problem and unskilled labor, the casinos are likely to automate many of the more tedious functions with robots.

In spite of the labor challenges, leading gaming companies are assertively going after the licenses. Some of the operators have even pledged to spend more than $10 billion on an integrated casino. For example, CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, Lawrence Ho stated to GGRAsia that if the company bags the license, they will relocate its headquarters there.
