Japanese officials have approved controversial plans to build the country’s first gambling resort.

Casinos have long been illegal in Japan, but a law was passed in 2018 providing exceptions to games, such as poker or baccarat, to create jobs and boost tourism.

Besides the casino, the 5.3 million square-foot complex will include a hotel, conference centre, shopping mall and museum.

The complex will open in the western city of Osaka in 2029.
