The chairman and CEO of Japan’s Sega Sammy Holdings says he wants to be involved in most of the country’s integrated resort operations following recent passage of the long-awaited IR Implementation Bill.
Discussing Sega Sammy’s vision in its annual report released this week, Hajime Satomi outlined ambitious plans for the coming years, including a desire to be a dominant player in the Japanese IR industry.
“Many companies have announced their intention to participate. However, I want the group to hold the majority of projects and develop businesses in a broad range of fields with casino operations as the central focus.
“If we can realise participation and build successful businesses, it will open up a wide range of possibilities for the group going forward, including the expansion of businesses in the global market using the knowhow gained from such successes.”
