14 South Koreans Arrested for Enticing Chinese gamblers

Employees in South Korea’s most popular casinos accused for luring Chinese players, as gamblers avoid China.

Several South Korean citizens were arrested in China last Wednesday, charged for luring Chinese citizens in foreigners-only “gambling temples” in the country. As gambling news reports, all of the arrested are employees in two of the most renowned casino operators in South Korea: Paradise Co. and Grand Korea Leisure Co.

The Ministry of Public Security Deputy Director of China, Hua Jingfeng, made it clear in an announcement that the institutions of the state will make every effort to defend the country’s market from foreign gambling offices set up in China. Considering these gambling regulations in China, gamblers in Asia find the gaming resorts in South Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, more attractive.
