Casinos in Jeongseon

1 venue recorded.

Jeongseon County, in the mountains of Gangwon Province, holds the only South Korean casino that Korean citizens may enter. It was licensed under a special law intended to replace the economy of a closed coal-mining district, and it opened in 2000.

The property is a full resort with hotels, a ski area and golf, three hours from Seoul. Entry rules for residents include visit limits and a loss-limit system, and the concentration of domestic demand in one location has made it the subject of continuing policy debate.
