3. Tokyo, Japan
This news just got in. Japan finally legalizes casinos after more than a decade of political arguments. However, it will take at least five to six years before we can enjoy high-stakes gambling in luxury hotels with all sorts of entertainment around.
But even so, that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy gambling in Japan. $30 billion amount of annual gambling losses collected by this country is a solid proof that it is the third most popular country for people to gamble at.
This has been possible under restriction because there are several exceptions to the general ban of gambling in Japan. Lottery and sport betting are still allowed under special laws.
Lottery, or as locals call it Takarakuji, is the most popular form of gambling in Tokyo. So, while you enjoy the city’s entertainment, you can buy the ticket almost in every corner of the city. From stores, street shops, even ATMs, it is easy to get.
