TOKYO, June 11 (Reuters) - Japanese entertainment group Sega
Sammy Holdings 6460.T said on Friday it had submitted a
proposal to build a casino complex in Yokohama in a partnership
with Genting Singapore GENS.SI .
Japan has sought to build several Las Vegas-style casino
complexes to boost tourism. Analysts have previously estimated
Japan's casino market could be worth about $8 billion a year,
although enthusiasm has waned in the past few years, with Las
Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts withdrawing from projects in Japan.
