I was also wondering how banning illegal gambling will work...it's already banned right...because it's illegal...right?

Sometimes I'm astounded by the idiocy of Korean law enforcement. Make a law to make it illegal to do something that is already illegal to do under law; efficiency at it's finest.

What I really love is that they give a date for when the "crackdown" will begin. That way they can close down for a month while the police are on the prowl and then after the month is over they will all reopen.
