Gangwon Land Casino, a legal gambling place born out of economic stagnation!

Kangwon City was once famous for its industry. When the "coal mine" was closed, the economy seriously stagnated.With local residents unemployed and with no way to make a living, the decision was made in 1998 to build the Kangwon Land Casino, which would be open to foreigners. Before allowing "Koreans" to gamble legally in the only place in the world in 2000.

Korean citizens may only gamble in Gangwon Province casinos.Do not use the service more than 15 times per month.In addition, the betting limit per bet cannot exceed 300,000 won or 7,650 baht.

The legal penalties for opening gambling halls and casinos in South Korea point to the ironclad rule that they must not play or provide services around the world, and violations are punishable by three years in prison and a fine of 20 million won (about 515,200,200 baht). The law also states that the penalty for violating the law is three years in prison and a fine of 20 million won (about 515,200 baht).

South Korea's gambling laws "all Korean citizens" are forbidden to engage in any form of gambling at home or abroad.And outside the Kingdom, for example, Koreans who travel outside the country and play in legal casinos in "Las Vegas" in the US are still guilty.And if this problem reaches Korean government agencies, they must be punished.

Korea, however, has many legal casinos, but they all "accept foreigners only." Koreans are only allowed to gamble on lotteries and certain types of sports such as boat racing, horse racing, and bicycling.
