Casino Royale in Seoul

Casino Royale:

Trust us to keep looking for interesting events in Seoul. One of them was the opening of the 7Luck Casino in Seoul. It’s a bit far off from where I stay, located in the Coex Complex (Samseong Station). Disregarding the nonchalant views of most of our other friends, myself and my friend Anup and family thought of spending a Saturday at Coex. This was coupled with the fact that they also wanted to see the Waxworks Exhibition that was on in the same place.

We landed up in Coex as scheduled and then finally located the Casino, which actually has a separate entrance towards the West Side of Coex. Unlike the US of A, this Casino allows only foreigners and no Korean citizens are allowed.

While we entered the complex the escalator takes you to the Casino on the second floor. Maybe because it’s new, or maybe not too many foreigners in Seoul, most of the tables were empty. There was blackjack, poker, roulette, et al. You also had the card game machines and the slot machines. I thought that the place was lit up more than necessary. A slightly darker ambience with focused light on tables would perhaps suit the place better. Most of the betting in the table games started from 10 Dollars or so while we saw minimum 100 Dollar bet tables too.

While you have the casino on the second floor, the ground floor can keep you occupied with free Pool, Darts. Massage Chairs, Internet, Room Putting and a reasonable snack shop. There’s a video game system too. There’s no entrance fee or cover charge. I guess the pit bosses and dealers are anyway waiting upstairs to lighten your pocket.

So on a holiday for amateurs like you and me, maybe it’s a great idea to fix a maximum loss budget and then try and win some money. Some of you perhaps may like read up some Black Jack strategies (the only game where you have some odds of winning over the dealer) and try to bet on some good deals. Best of 7 Luck!!!!
