I know there are a bunch of casinos in Seoul for foreigners, but I can't seem to find out if any of them have poker. I read in the paper today that a casino called "7 luck" is opening today which claims to have poker, but I just called them and they said they have 2 caribbean poker tables and that's it (caribbean poker is NOT a form of poker, despite its name).

It seems like poker would be legal here if a foreigner's casino decided to introduce a few tables, but I can't find any that have done so. Any help, poker players out there?

That "Star Super Happy Lucky Double 7 Waving Cat Casino" has been sending out lots of hanboked ladies to meet the high-rollers at the airport this week. The women are wearing those horrible hats with the dresses too.

Um, I don't know about poker.

None of the casinos have poker. I've done some searching and I can say that there is no legalized poker games in Seoul. I think poker is still illegal. I know alot of Koreans have home games but there's no legalized places to play for now.

PM me SNoh84, I'll tell ya. Great places but low key and treat the clientele very nice. Stakes high or reasonable.

It is technically illegal to gamble in Korea but there are all sorts of ways around it and it is very seldom enforced...Also some private games around...I love the game for fun. Can't play worth a damn but I do my best...

Never met two cards I didn't like...
