The future of the industry

South Korea's strategy remains conservative: citizens have access only to Kangwon Land, for foreigners - resort casinos with an emphasis on MICE and premium tourism.

Until the 2030s, growth drivers are the restoration of air traffic, the upgrade of IR infrastructure (Incheon, Jeju) and the digitalization of permitted rates (official online channels, non-cash payments, personal limits).

Compliance is expected to increase (KYC/AML, behavioral analytics, AI-tools RG), and not liberalization of private online gambling.

Risks: fluctuations in tourist flow in Northeast Asia, public perception, personnel shortage.

• Basic: stable GGR due to IR and digital sales of state pools.
• Optimistic: the growth of premium tourism, e-sports events and congress niche are strengthening the multiplier.
• Restrained: weak external demand and tight restrictions shift the focus to efficiency and RG control.
