The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's regional investigation team sent the 50-year-old man A to the police for operating an illegal gambling center worth 65 billion won in the middle of Gangnam, Seoul, and booked more than 30 people without detention for gambling.
Mr. A and others are accused of opening and operating an online relay gambling center that allows them to broadcast Philippine casino videos live and participate in betting in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul from June last year to August this year.
Mr. A rented an ordinary office for a short period of time, decorated the interior like a real casino, and tried to avoid crackdown by moving the location several times by operating on a membership system through recommendation from acquaintances.
In addition, it was found that professional dealers who had worked at real casinos were hired to create an atmosphere of gambling directly at hotel casinos.
The police confirmed that 65 billion won came and went from the gambling center for 14 months, and seized 205 million won from A.
