This is great. I just taught my students the other day how to play Texas Hold'em during a how-to lesson. They had a good time playing with real money and laughing at the results. Eventually, only I was laughing, all the way to the bank.

I was just thinking that Jeju doesn't have enough Chinese tourists already and then this was posted.

Can you just imagine all the korean hands that were sticking out for "under the table" money to get this built!
And if you want a piece of the construction work...you got to "pay out" as well!

No doubt many Chinese visitors will flock to Jeju for gambling, wine and women!

The article doesn't say if the casino will be only for foreign passport holders or not.

I'm not sure if a casino is a good idea. Casinos tend to lead to prostitution and underground sex businesses.
