 note = {This paper is a preliminary study to investigate economic impacts of Integrated Resort (IR here after) planned by the draft Bill for IR Promotion in Japan. The Abe administration introduced the idea of IR in the way adopted in 2010 by Singapore as a growth engine for Japanese economic growth. The media and public's reactions were diverse, some recognizing the economic benefits, but many reacting in fear and in loud opposition, fueled by perceived negative impacts on society that legalization of casinos, a component of IR, could bring. This has worked to muffle an opportunity so far for a strong and lucid discussion on IR's economic benefits. It is important to have clarity first on the real potential of IR as an economic growth engine for Japan. We need to assess the impact of an IR in this country and whether it could in fact bring to its next level Japan's tourism industry, making it both vibrant and sustainable to benefit the Japanese people. To do this, IR must prove to show productivity growth playing a strong and substantive role in supporting the service industry. Research to date however has been difficult, indicating challenges in measuring volume and price of service and, suggesting needs for further investigation. There are several methods to obtain figures on economic impact of IR. This paper offers only a rough estimation of initial and operating impacts of IR using the multi-region Input-Output table. This results in an assessment that the Kinki region -- area around Osaka -- is the most promising region for IR in Japan. Regions such as Kanto and Kyushu follow closely. IR is a multi-service producer with properties that include economies of scope, economies of scale, and cross subsidization. It is under these properties that we need to evaluate whether the casino component of IR is crucial to IR. If at that point an IR with casino as part is assessed to be a strong growth engine for Japan, it is then that we need to consider how Japan can address its potential negative factors, one of which so often raised in discussions today is problem gaming.Problem gaming exists in Japan today, casino or not, but it is it is surprising that this area remains ill defined and statistics not sufficiently comprehensive. Further research on this subject also is necessary.Public acceptance is critical for the draft IR Promotion Bill to pass. In this paper, we also offer an experimental econometric analysis to facilitate prospective designing of desired questionnaires which in turn will generate results for further econometric analysis.},
