Gambling in South Korea - statistics & facts
Gambling in South Korea is a multi-trillion South Korean won industry. Overseen by the National Gambling Control Commission, seven sectors comprise domestic gambling. Apart from the lottery and sports betting, the other five gambling events can be attended in person, forming exciting on-site atmospheres with rising stakes. In particular, the traditional sport of bull wrestling harks back to times bygone. Establishments like Kangwon Land offer a modern setting for contemporary gambling, and it remains the only casino open to the general public in South Korea.
