Looks like it'll be huge. |
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. |
