MACAU -- Macau gaming mogul Lawrence Ho Yau-lung has told the Nikkei Asian Review that he gave up control of a casino resort in Russia late last year to improve his chances of winning a license in Japan under the guidance of external advisers.
Ho, chairman and chief executive of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, has high hopes for Japan, though more legislative hurdles remain to be cleared before any casino licenses can be awarded.
