Japan is a very modern country. In spite of this, this contemporaneity does not augment very much to Japan’s gambling laws, which by today’s standards, are legitimately traditional and authoritarian.
Poker in Japan
There are a moderate number of private live poker games in Japan and mostly visited by foreign nationals. You have to know, though, the right connections to obtain admittance since poker is illegal. With the expectation of liberalization of the laws and support from the poker industry in Japan, the future’s looking good for gamers.
