Grand Korea Leisure Co Ltd, an operator in South Korea of foreigner-only casinos, said on Monday its two Seoul venues and one Busan site will stay closed until 9am local time, on February 15.
The Seoul venues have been temporarily suspended since November 24; and the Busan site since December 1, as Covid-19 countermeasures. An existing company-issued closure notice covering the three venues had been due to expire on Monday at 9am local time.
The firm also noted in its update filing to the Korea Exchange that – as a result of the further-extended closures – it was upping its estimated loss regarding the group’s casino net sales to about KRW32.58 billion (US$29.2 million), from KRW27.05 billion previously.
