While there are 14 of them and licences have been issued for three more, only one of them is actually open to South Korean citizens. All the others are restricted to foreign nationals. As South Korea is not, despite certain attractions, known as a great tourist destination, this has meant most of the cas running at 10% or so of capacity. Koreans themselves are inveterate gamblers and in recent years there has been an explosion of online cas in the Korean language, which the Government is busily trying to close down. There is also extensive gambling on horse racing, sometimes even bicycle racing and other sports events, as well. But despite this huge cultural predisposition to gambling, South Korea's cas are hampered by the fact that only one of them is allowed to let the local citizens inside. A list of South Korea's cas includes: Busan: Paradise ca Busan Cheju City: Cheju KAL Hotel and ca Cheju Oriental Hotel and ca Crowne Plaza ca Cheju Paradise Grand ca The Shilla Cheju's ca Incheon: Paradise Olympos ca Jeongseongun: Kangwon Land Resort and ca Kyongju: Wellich Choson Hotel and ca Samseong: Seven Luck Seogwipo City: Hyatt Regency Cheju ca Lotte Hotel and ca Seoul: Paradise Walker-Hill ca Sockch'o City: Sorak Park Hotel and ca In addition to these South Korea cas, there are also horse racing tracks in Busan, Cheju City, and Seoul. Eight of South Korea's cas are located on the resort island of Chuju, while the other cas are in the capital and larger cities. The South Korean Government is so keen to limit their citizens' ability to gamble that not only does it, as above, try to shut down Korean language online sites, it also attempts to block them from even being seen inside the country. There have also been a number of attempts to make it illegal, or at least stop the practice of people using credits cards issued in South Korea to gamble elsewhere. While South Korea's cas cannot, as above, allow the local citizens inside to play (except in that one case), this doesn't stop gambling from actually going on. There are myriad illegal places all over the country where games can be played for money. It is also true that many take the short flight to Macau, the ex-Portuguese colony, where gambling thrives. Finally, the very richest ignore all the restrictions simply by taking a plane to Las Vegas.
