Groupe Partouche announced its partnership with Pixel Companyz Inc. within a consortium aiming to develop an Integrated Resort (IR) in Japan. This integrated Resort project will host, in addition to a casino, a congress, conference and exhibition center, leisure facilities, hotels, restaurants, shops and all services contributing to the development of tourism. To date, no casinos are operated in Japan, only Pachinko gaming rooms, a recreational cross between pinball and slot machines.

Pixel and TTL Resorts Ltd. recently signed a partnership in order to form this consortium and to participate in the local government-led bidding process for a license to be granted by the central Japanese government. Within this consortium, Groupe Partouche will be entrusted with the operation of the casino to be developed in the Integrated Resort, thus bringing its expertise and know-how in casinos management.
