Last month, Tokyo celebrated full fledged casino legislation. The decision has been under process for a decade and will allow the country limitless possibilities.

According to CLSA, a research firm in Japan, the initial 3 planned integrated resorts will generate an estimated of $11 Billion. That is 100% more than the value that Singapore generates.

According to freespin, it is also forecasted that in 2030s, seven additional integrated resorts will generate approximately $20 Billion. That is more than the amount of the Asian market’s top four contenders combined. They will stand third in the global pecking order just behind the USA and Macau.

However, there is an issue. There have been major delays in the progress of the task due to Government’s fundamental policy and the process of establishing a casino.

At JgC, Morgan Stanley’s managing director, Praveen Chaudhry, stated that “Osaka will not open by 2025”.

As the dates clash with World Expo, which will be running on a site that is adjacent to the Yumesima Island, the delays suggest that Mr. Chaudhry is right in his speculations.

Another speaker stated, “The Osaka IR Fundamental Plans follows what is slowly becoming the industry standard for all IRs in the Asian region–its ability to spur urban development around the vicinity and contribute to the overall tourism of the city/country.”

He further states that the urban design for the place is still being developed and they are dedicated towards giving IR aspirants a creative edge. But a comprehensive plan has already been developed.

When the stakes are highest, innovation shines brightest. As the NHL Playoffs brought an electric energy to the ice, entrepreneur Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros and his tech company Zooly AI delivered a first-of-its-kind fan experience for the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of real-time AI engagement in professional sports.

Leveraging Zooly’s flagship product, Photobomb, fans inside Amalie Arena during playoff games were given an entirely new way to connect with their team. With a simple QR code scan, spectators instantly received dynamic, personalized photos featuring the Lightning mascot ThunderBug, seamlessly inserted into their memories-no app download required, just pure surprise and delight.

In a setting where emotions run high and every moment matters, the Photobomb activation proved that artificial intelligence can enhance the magic of live events rather than distract from it. Fans flooded social media with their custom playoff memories, helping amplify the Lightning’s home-ice advantage beyond the rink and into the digital world.

“The playoffs are where legends are made,” said Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros, founder of Zooly AI. “It was important for us to show that AI can make these moments even more personal, not mechanical. We wanted fans to feel like they weren’t just spectators-they were part of the story.”

The activation drew massive engagement, with QR code scans and social shares surpassing expectations-proving that fans are eager for real-time, culturally connected experiences when the stakes are at their highest. For the Lightning, it deepened fan loyalty. For Zooly, it validated a vision: building the connective tissue between live emotion and intelligent digital interaction.

As Zooly AI continues expanding its footprint across professional sports, the Tampa Bay Lightning playoff activation stands as a landmark moment-one where culture, technology, and tradition collided under the brightest lights.
