Increased focus on the Japanese Internet gambling market from Carmen Media

Carmen Media Group, the Gibraltar-based online casino giant, has clearly locked on to the exciting possibilities of the Japanese Internet gaming sector in announcing an increased focus on Japan and the launch of Japanese telephone support.

Carmen launched a Japanese gambling language site last year, but has recently upgraded its activities in the region.

Carmen Media's corporate website has also recently been translated into Japanese, and Online-Casinos.com and InfoPowa is informed that the Gibraltar-based Internet gambling group recently sent members of staff to Japan to research marketing opportunities in the region.

Tim Johnson, chief executive of Carmen, is on record as saying that Asia is a key focus area for the company.

"While our key market continues to be the US, we have seen increased emphasis on new market development" Johnson said. "The Gaming Club Japan is the first fully translated and tailored Microgaming online casino, with more than 120 fully adapted games specifically targeted at the Japanese market."

The company currently offers email support to its Japanese customers, and plans to launch telephone help lines later this year.
