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.

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.

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) .

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.
