Satellites & Qualification

Numerous live “Milestone Satellites” are available throughout the festival, offering seats to the Mystery Bounty or Main Event for as low as KRW 340,000. In the Milestone format, players instantly receive their ticket as soon as they reach a specific chip milestone.

Poker Guide & Registration

The LES A Casino (formerly Landing Casino) provides a professional environment and international-standard service. All tournaments are conducted according to strict global poker standards.

Official Poker Rules

Tournaments follow the latest TDA rules with a Big Blind Ante format. Most events (excluding Short Deck and Mixed games) utilize a shot clock: players have 20-30 seconds per decision, extendable with time bank cards. Final table levels may be measured by hands played rather than elapsed time.

Registration & Buy-in Info

Registration is only possible on-site at the LES A Casino poker desk. Buy-ins are accepted in KRW (South Korean Won). Currency exchange and ATMs are available within the casino premises. Note that a 4% staff fee (3% for certain High Rollers) is deducted from the prize pools. A valid foreign passport is required for all non-South Korea citizens to enter and play.

Past Results & Champions

The most recent stop for the Poker Dream series was Poker Dream 21 Genting Highlands in Malaysia , which was a massive success. The festival drew thousands of entries, with the Main Event far exceeding its guarantee, further establishing the tour’s reputation in the South East Asian poker scene.

Here are the key champions from Poker Dream 21 Malaysia:

The previous stop in Jeju was the record-breaking Poker Dream 16 Jeju in February 2025, which saw massive fields at the LES A Casino tables.

The Venue: LES A Casino

LES A Casino is located in the heart of the Shinhwa World Resort on Jeju Island. The modern, spacious room features over 50 tables, with direct access to the resort’s restaurants and shopping areas.

LES A Casino: High-Stakes Poker, Tournaments & Resort Info

LES A Casino (formerly Landing Casino) is the high-roller haven of Jeju’s foreigner-only gaming scene, located within the sprawling Jeju Shinhwa World integrated resort. Rebranded in late 2025 to reflect a new era of “first and best” service (French: Les A), this venue has become the definitive home for high-stakes poker in South Korea . Its massive gaming floor and luxury infrastructure make it a favorite for elite international tours, including the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series and the Asian Poker Tour (APT) .


Why LES A Casino Jeju?

  • Ultra-High Stakes Hub: A world-renowned destination for nosebleed stakes, frequently hosting the most expensive tournaments in Asia.
  • Integrated Luxury: Situated inside Jeju Shinhwa World, offering thousands of rooms, a theme park, and duty-free shopping within steps of the poker room.
  • Major Series Hub: Beyond Triton and the APT, the venue is the exclusive host for burgeoning series like the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) , K Poker Cup (KPC) , and the King Poker Cup high-roller brand.

The Jeju Poker Experience

The poker action at LES A Casino is split between a consistent cash game scene and a packed calendar of international festivals. Cash games typically spread KRW 2,000/5,000 and KRW 5,000/10,000 No-Limit Hold’em, though during major series like APT Jeju or Triton, the room explodes with high-stakes action reaching KRW 100,000/200,000 and beyond.

The venue is famous for its “festival season.” In early 2026, the casino hosted a massive 16-day festival featuring the K Poker Cup (KPC) x Long Poker Tour (LPT) followed immediately by the debut of the King Poker Cup, a premium high-stakes series featuring buy-ins up to $30,000. These series, alongside the Red Dragon Poker Tour and Gods of Poker (GOP) , ensure that LES A remains a year-round destination for competitive play.


Venue Logistics

📍 Location: 38 Shinhwayeoksa-ro 304 beon-gil, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea. Approximately 45 minutes by shuttle or taxi from Jeju International Airport.
