They believe that three Chinese individuals served about a dozen gamblers daily and took a 5% fee from winnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Japans_Gambling_Laws_and_Exceptions\"><\/span>Japan's Gambling Laws and Exceptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, gambling is prohibited by law, but the government allows people to bet on strictly monitored events such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/momentine-loterija-internetu\">lotteries<\/a>, horse racing, boat racing, and cycling. The winnings from these bets go directly to the state treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local media reports that in April, six comedians associated with Osaka's entertainment agency &#8220;Yoshimoto Kogyo&#8221; were arrested on suspicion of gambling and handed over to prosecutors. Six of them agreed to plea deals, and one even stated that he had wagered more than 50 million yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An investigation is currently underway, and the arrested individuals may face charges under Japan's anti-gambling laws. Authorities continue to monitor other potential illegal gambling operations throughout Tokyo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information about the Arrest and Operation The Metropolitan Police Department&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9670,"featured_media":1105769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[191,1655,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1105786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-naujienos","category-news","category-uncategorized-lt"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1105786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9670"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1105786"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1105786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1105798,"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1105786\/revisions\/1105798"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1105769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1105786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1105786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1105786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
