Only two out of eight foreigner-only casinos on the South Korean holiday island of Jeju are currently operating, according to Thursday telephone enquiries by GGRAsia. As of mid-December, four out of eight Jeju casinos had been running.
The latest one to undergo a temporary closure – of undetermined length – is Gongzi Jeju Casino (pictured in a file photo). It has been shut indefinitely since April 10, according to telephone calls made by GGRAsia to the venue, and to the Jeju local government.
The reason for the latest venue to suspend functions was “business deterioration” due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The suspension was “temporary, but with no time limit”, said the Jeju government official.
