North Korea

Pyongyang, North Korea

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a socialist state located in East Asia, bordered by China, Russia, and of course, South Korea. Gambling is illegal for its citizens, but the two casinos within the country allow tourists to play.

These casinos were built with the intent of bringing in money from wealthy Chinese tourists who are banned from playing in their own country. Everything is tightly controlled in North Korea, however, with restrictions on mobile phones in the country and no Internet access in hotels.
