Hey all I will be going to S. Korea for about a week and one of the hotels we're staying at has a casino. Would anyone be interested in a chip for their collection? Post if you're interested so I know about how many to pick up.
 
Are you staying in the hotel in gangnam at the coex mall? I was just there last nov
 
?

Yeah. Seoul is a huge city made up of a bunch of districts. Gangnam is a district. The coex is this large mall in gang name and it has a hotel attached with a casino. Not many casinos in Korea so thought it might be same one. Only foreigners are allowed to play in the casino so you have to show passport to get in.

While I was there, no one was plating poker. They had baccarat and blackjack going regularly though.

Yes please. I spent one year at Kunsan AFB south Korea 90 -91.

Working in the rice fields aren't very fun
 
South Korea is definitely a country I want to go back and visit again. I did run hot enough at blackjack to extend my visit by another week a couple years ago
 
I would love to have one! Thanks :) I didn't make it to the Casino when I was in Seoul. Will have to check it out next time I'm there.

I'll trade you for a chip a picked up from Manila, Philippines if you'd like.

So it turns out we're in the Yongsan-Gu district. The casino has the same name but it's attached to our hotel instead of a mall. Definitely no poker but lots of blackjack and roulette

So I managed to grab 20 X 1000 won chips which is enough for the people in the thread plus a few more. I also put 95,000won into a slot machine and managed to walk away at 228,000 wonView attachment 93496

Fantastic! Let us all know how you want to handle the distribution. Thanks so much, this is way better than just buying a chip off eBay.

If they don't all get claimed, I'd love two... so I can see how slippery they are. (All that bitching and moaning about Matsui chips...)
 
I will take 1 if any available :). I played blackjack there about... 6 years ago. Unfortunately before I got into chipping. It was so strange that they only allow foreigners to play there.

Safe travels!
