short answer: yes.

I'm not sure on the exact policies though. There are a couple of Casinos in Seoul, but they are for foreigners/tourists only. There is a Casino in Gangwando which Koreans can go to.

Horse racing (betting) is also legal.

I'm not sure about sports betting and online gambling though.

Im back in Ireland for a while. Wish they'd bar Irish people from casinos here. Too many drunken cash games at the hold em tables after nights out just for the free booze. Makes for expensive nights. Crying or Very sad

It IS legal to gamble in Korea, BUT NOT FOR KOREANS.

If you wanna gamble check out the Walker Hill hotel Casino

They have hold em poker tables, 3 card poker, blackjack, craps, roullette...

Pretty cool place, nice and cozy. Free drinky poos.
