Operators delay opening of Jeju Shinhwa World

South Korean casino Jeju Shinhwa World will be finally opened by the end of the year.

South Korea.- The expected opening of South Korean casino Jeju Shinhwa World has been delayed again. Operators have revealed that the gaming salon will finally be opened by the end of the year, as final studies have estimated. The announcement was made by the Hong Kong-listed Landing International Development Ltd to GGRAsia.

The company also revealed the venue will be named “Jeju Shinhwa World Marriott Resort and Spa” and will count with 630 guest rooms to be opened in two phases: the first with 486 rooms, and the remaining 144 rooms in a second phase.

Jeju Shinhwa World, the newest casino hotel complex from South Korea, held a grand opening for the first phase of the project earlier this year. The venue developed by Landing International is operated by The Acott Ltd. The facility also provides a wide range of modern amenities such as a clubhouse with a spacious lobby lounge, and a fully-equipped gymnasium, a restaurant offering international cuisine, as well as an indoor playroom and a large outdoor play area for children. It is expected that the casino will showcase more features to the public by the end of this year.

Landing International Development currently operates another casino in Jeju Island. The casino in the Hyatt Regency ranked first on the list of the 2016 anti-money laundering assessment, which includes 17 of the country’s casinos, and is issued by the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit.
