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

Derick Elomina
Derick Elomina discovered poker at 14, playing home games with his high school friends. What began as a pastime quickly grew into a passion that shaped his career. By 21, he entered the poker industry as a field reporter — just old enough to step foot inside the casino. Starting as a hand reporter, he steadily honed his craft, blending sharp observation with growing writing skills. Known for his dedication, he constantly roams the floor to capture the action, conduct interviews, and deliver live updates. With a strong commitment to the game and a passion for telling poker’s stories, Derick continues to build his path in the industry.

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.
