Thats kind of surprising since Aruze is a partner @ the Wynn hotel and casino :

Here's a quote from that article:

for Wynn, who possesses a vast fortune, international connections, and enormous charisma. He contributed $174 million and rounded up $380 million from Japanese gambling giant Aruze and another $41 million from mutual-fund company Baron Asset Management.

That is an old article (2002) and we discussed it(the partnership) here on pachitalk.com a long time ago :

I find it interesting that Aruze is also going to be placing machines in a Wynn's resort in Macau? Makes one go hmmmm....But I guess they deserve a pat on the back for jump starting the Wynn?

Just imagine if they did bring in pachinko to Vegas. It would serve to legitimize it as a mainstream casino game. I don't think it will happen but I would like to see it.
