The Gaming Standards Association is a well-known and respected industry body, 
with long established policies and practices. The Japanese market is actively 
looking for the right answers and GSA Japan is here to provide them.

Japan's rich economic power and technological strength will lend itself towards 
learning from practices in other countries and developing solutions that are of 
the highest standards and integrity. With the addition of the casino industry, 
Japan can develop a strong tourism industry that will be highly competitive 
internationally. 

GSA President, Peter DeRaedt: "For more than 20 years GSA have brought together 
the industry and policy domains and successfully facilitated discussions 
leading to the creation of a number of key standards that provide an important 
level of transparency to governments, regulators, operators, and manufacturers. 
As a non-profit international trade association, we have always stayed true to 
our mission of being the leading gaming standards forum, creating value by 
facilitating innovation and efficiencies for the gaming industry. We are 
looking forward to supporting the Japanese government and its representatives 
with the unbiased information they are looking for."

GSA Japan Managing Director, Mr. Kaji Takeshi: "The Japanese Government 
stipulates that casinos are developed using the world's highest standards of 
regulation to guarantee the integrity of casino management, along with its 
supporting systems to avoid any possible adverse side effects. In order to 
fulfill this important goal, and to develop the casino industry and create 
better-integrated resorts that conform to international standards, a good 
partner like GSA is of great value. The support of a sincere and experienced 
guide is optimal to be successful."
