Back home I lived 4 miles from the Indian Reservation that had a small casino... used to go there once a week with some friends with 20 bucks and play blackjack.
Haven't played in well over a year and today I have the itch... does Seoul have any casinos? I'm going there in 2 weeks! I know busan has the 7 luck casino.
What other "itches" do you guys get from back home that you can't do readily here in Korea? |

Horseracing. While there's a racecourse in Seoul, it's in Seoul, and it's spendy. Back home, you could go to Dinkyburg Racecourse and drop a couple bucks on some glue factory reject. Here, they don't do it. |

Spendy?
It's a couple of thousand won to get in, and you can bet as little as 1000 won on each race. It has its own subway station on line 4 so getting there doesn't cost much. Food and snacks aren't expensive either. |

| The foreigners room is just a seating area with a desk at the entrance where they give you an English language racecard and a leaflet on how to bet. It doesn't cost any extra. |

You are allowed to take one Korean with you for translation purposes I believe.
I'm pretty sure you can bet as little as 100 won per race. You should check that out but I'm pretty sure its a 100 won minimum. |

| Doesn't Walker Hill still have a casino? I was there last about four years ago, but it's pretty big - lots of blackjack tables. However the people there can be a drag. |

as of a year ago they did, not sure, havent been there lately. there is a shuttle near technomart that goes there.
just remember to bring your passport to get in. and wear shoes, pants, and cover your shoulders. i had a friend get turned away because he had sandles on. |
