South Korea: Sexual services for gamblers offered by Chinese agency

Tourism authorities in South Korea are refuting reports that casinos in Jeju Island are offering sexual services to lure Chinese gamblers.

Last week, state-run television network China Central Television (CCTV) ran an expose in which it claimed that there was a contract promising sexual services to gamblers if they buy a certain volume of gaming chips at the island’s casinos.

According to the report, chips worth RMB 100,000 ($15,700) are equivalent to a massage. Double that sum will entitle the gambler a “one-time service” from a budding Korean model or actress, and spending RMB 500,000 in the casinos will get you three days’ worth of services.

Jeju casinos and South Korea‘s tourism authorities didn’t deny the existence of alleged sexual services. Instead, they turned the tables on the Chinese government, explaining the said services were actually offered by a Chinese agency that is unrelated to the casinos, Want China Times reported.
