Jeju’s Gongzi Casino sees operations halted since Sunday

Jeju’s Gongzi Casino sees operations halted since Sunday

Gongzi Casino on Jeju island, South Korea, has halted its operations since Sunday (November 3), GGRAsia has confirmed.

The hotel where the casino is based – Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Jeju Ocean Front – is due to close for refurbishment and rebranding, by year-end.

The suspension of operations at the foreigner-only casino (pictured in a file photo) was verified by an official of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and separately by a hotel staff member. At Gongzi Casino itself, the phone was not being answered either on Sunday or Monday.

GGRAsia verified that hotel bookings via the Ramada brand’s reservation system are unavailable for the current hotel beyond December 31.

On Monday a Jeju government official clarified to GGRAsia by telephone that a suspension of operations at Gongzi Casino amid the revamp to its host hotel was deemed by the local 온라인카지노 authorities as a “proper reason” under the island’s current licensing system. Consequently, Gongzi’s Jeju casino licence would remain active at least until such time as a hotel at that location reopens.

GGRAsia has not been able to establish if Gongzi Casino’s operator will seek to return to the hotel, post the revamp.

Gongzi Casino had however informed the Jeju government the gaming business had no plans to transfer its gambling operation to another venue during the hotel’s refurbishment, according to that official.

The suspension means that with effect from Sunday, the number of active foreigner-only casinos on Jeju island dropped from eight to seven.

Gongzi Casino launched at the Ramada site in 2017.

According to data from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Gongzi Casino’s 2023 gaming revenue was KRW1.19 billion (about US$863,200 currently), and the venue had 4,129 unique players that year.

An incredible come-from-behind victory has gifted Port Adelaide a home elimination final at Alberton.

The Power overcame a determined GWS outfit that had no finals ambitions heading into the game.

Despite knowing their fate, the Giants led at every break, including an 11-point margin at three quarter time.

The one-point Power victory means they’ll face Richmond in an elimination final on Sunday.

Minor premiers North Melbourne will host Adelaide at Ikon Park on Friday, with the Crows pushing the undefeated Roos in round 9.

The McClelland Trophy winners Hawthorn will host the runner ups Brisbane on Sunday at Ikon Park, while Fremantle hosts Essendon at Fremantle Oval on Saturday night.

Fremantle will head into AFLW finals with form behind them after accounting for a plucky Western Bulldogs at a blustery Fremantle Oval on Sunday.

Only a record blowout could have shifted the Dockers into the top four, and while the Dogs were in front 파워볼 early thanks to some wasteful goalkicking from Fremantle, the weight of possession handed the home side a 4.11.35 to 3.3.21 win in front of 2500 fans.

It means the Dockers will host Essendon in an elimination final at home next week.

Mim Strom continued her push for an All Australian berth and was dominant in the ruck and around the ground with 30 hit-outs, 30 touches, seven tackles and three behinds and will prove a handful for a Bombers side missing Steph Wales.

Michael Jordan’s camp was forced to speak out after a viral post on social media suggested that the NBA legend had endorsed Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The NY Post reports on Sunday, a post on X falsely claimed that the six-time NBA champion has “become the latest to endorse Donald Trump for President”.

The post instantly went viral, racking up thousands of likes and reposts. But the following day, Jordan’s reps denied that he has endorsed either candidate in the race to the White House.

“There is absolutely no truth to the claim that Michael Jordan has made an endorsement in the presidential election,” Jordan’s reps told The Independent.

The basketball legend has made a conscious effort to keep his political views private over the years. The same goes for his personal life.

As he put it during the filming of his docuseries The Last Dance, released in 2020, Jordan said, “I never thought of myself as an activist. I thought of myself as a basketball player.”

Back in 1990, Jordan decided against publicly endorsing Democrat Harvey Gantt during a North Carolina Senate race.

Gantt, a black democrat, was challenging Jesse Helms for a senate seat in North Carolina.
