The Paradise Poker Experience

The poker action at Paradise City runs 24/7 in a dedicated room known for its high-caliber staff and elite player comforts. Cash games are consistent, primarily spreading No-Limit Hold’em with blinds starting at ₩1,000/₩3,000, while higher stakes and Pot-Limit Omaha games frequently materialize during peak hours and major festivals. The venue is equipped with the latest RFID technology and high-end table equipment, ensuring a seamless and secure environment for both recreational players and professional high-rollers.

Unlike many other Asian hubs, the resort offers an integrated “stay-and-play” experience where world-class dining, a luxury spa (Cimer), and high-energy nightclubs (Chroma) are all just a short walk from the tournament floor.
