I like to gamble on occasion and was told there are a few places in Seoul that have gambling like pachinko (sp?) but many in one place rather than scattered all over. Does anyone know where these districts might be?

Across the road from the Kyobo building in Gangnam there's a couple of slot machine halls with pachinko machines.

There are numerous underground poker clubs as well as the above mentioned casinos.

But more mainstream there are tons of adult "arcades" that have slot machines/video gambling and there is also the video horse racing.

The government has been cracking down on the latter recently, but they are still everywhere.
