| | Las Vegas SUN: Japanese firm in deal with Wynn |
 | | Aruze is currently trying to land a Nevada gaming license -- and ran into difficulties with state gaming regulators in September. | | | Aruze is Japan's equivalent of International Game Technology, controlling 45 percent of that nation's $1.5 billion pachinko (gaming machine) market. | | | However, Wynn and Aruze would not need to receive control board permission for their deal, as Valvino Lamore surrendered its gaming license when the Desert Inn closed in August. |
