Grand Korea Leisure (GKL) is a company that operates foreigner-only casinos in South Korea and will suspend casino operations at the Seven Luck brand Gangbuk Millennium Hilton (photo) concert hall in Seoul from 4 p.m. Monday to 11 a.m. Wednesday, in response to phone inquiries from GGRAsia.
The online company announcement described it as a “preemptive measure” to prevent the “spread of infection” caused by COVID-19 and to “safety of customers and employees.”
On Friday, the government said it was raising social distancing rules in Incheon and Seoul to four levels to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The protocol will run from 12 a.m. on Monday to 12 a.m. on July 26.
Grand Korea Leisure’s other Seoul casino hotel, Gangnam COEX, was closed from 3 p.m. on Saturday to 11 a.m. on Monday due to pandemic measures, a Seven Luck Gangnam official told GGRAsia, according to an online venue announcement.
An official at the venue said that the temporary closure of the COEX casino in Gangnam over the weekend was made at the headquarters level as a countermeasure against COVID-19.
As a result of GGRAsia’s phone call with GKL officials today, there are no plans to temporarily close casino locations after Wednesday.
Separately, Paradise Inc., another foreigner-only casino operator in Korea, confirmed to GGRAsia that Walkerhill Casino in Seoul and Paradise City Casino Resort in Incheon will continue to operate this week. The company also said Paradise City’s resumption of non-gaming on July 16 is currently underway.
The company said last week that it would evaluate the relaunch situation.
As of 12 a.m. on Monday, South Korea recorded 1,100 new COVID-19 cases in a 24-hour period, with 169,146 cases, including 2,044 deaths, and 154,187 people released from quarantine, according to the ministry.
