Poker & Travel Guide

Jeju Island, part of the Republic of Korea, is one of Asia‘s most popular tourist destinations, offering visa-free entry for citizens of most countries. The island is famous for its volcanic landscapes, luxury resorts, and vibrant nightlife. The host venue, Jeju Shinhwa World, is an integrated resort featuring a theme park, water park, and shopping mall, so players can find plenty of relaxation options outside the poker tables.

Official Poker Guide (Rules, Structures)

Tournaments follow international TDA (Tournament Directors Association) rules. Most tournaments utilize a Big Blind Ante format to speed up play. PDF documents containing detailed structures will be available at the tournament director’s desk.

Registration & Buy-in Information

The registration desk is located directly at the entrance of the LES A Casino poker room. A valid passport and the casino membership card (free to obtain) are required for registration. Buy-ins can be paid primarily in South Korean Won (KRW), but the casino cashier also offers exchange services for major currencies (USD, EUR, HKD, CNY, JPY).

Destination Guide & Must See

Jeju’s atmosphere is a unique blend of modern luxury and natural wonders. If you have a free day between tournaments, be sure to visit the Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) crater or the Jeongbang Waterfall. Tasting the famous Jeju black pork is a must-do program for local gastronomy lovers.

Travel Essentials

  • Airport Transfer: Jeju International Airport (CJU) is approximately a 40-minute drive from Jeju Shinhwa World.
  • Transportation: Taxis are the most convenient mode of transport on the island, but it is worth downloading the Kakao T app for booking rides, as Uber availability is limited.
  • DK Tour Option: Our partner, DK Tour Poker Travel Agency, assists players with accommodation booking and travel arrangements.

The Venue: LES A Casino

RDPT Plus 2026 is hosted by LES A Casino, located within the Jeju Shinhwa World Marriott Resort. The casino features a modern, spacious poker room specifically designed for hosting large-scale international tournaments. The facility awaits players with 24-hour operation, premium dining services, and professional staff.

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.

🏨 Accommodations: Choose between the Marriott, Landing Hotel, or Somerset within the resort complex. Many poker tours offer “Early Bird” hotel packages for players.
