TOKYO (Reuters) - International casino operators have welcomed an agreement by Japan's ruling coalition over key points needed to finalise legislation of large "integrated" resorts, which are expected to generate billions of dollars for the country and the industry.

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner reached agreement this week on points from tax rates to casino floor space - closely watched by operators as they calibrate the potential size of investments in the country.
