Kangwon Land, is the only casino resort in South Korea permitted to offer bets to locals, is likely to be allowed soon to increase its maximum guest capacity for the casino floor, to 50 percent of normal levels.
The move from a current maximum of 1,200 guests, i.e. 20 percent of normal capacity; to 3,000, i.e., 50 percent of normal capacity, would be dependent on a redesignation of the local Covid-19 alert level, and would take place from Monday (June 14).
The county’s capacity-increase proposal had been made on last week. The move coincided with the renumbering – as part of a national initiative – of so-called social distancing protocols. As a result, the former “Level 1.5” standard, and all other intermediate standards between the old “Level 1” to the old “Level 3”, are being abolished. A new system, from “Level 1” up to “Level 4” will take its place.
Most of Gangwon province, including Jeongseon county where Kangwon land is located, are being designated Level 1 under the revised system.
Kangwon Land recorded a KRW40.9-billion (US$36.7-million) net loss in the first of quarter 2021, compared to a net loss of KRW156.1 billion in the prior-year period.
Jeongseon county had recorded 55 Covid-19 infections with no fatality since the onset of the crisis last year, according to the Jeongseon county website.
