Seven Luck Casino Gangnam COEX Branch at the Samseong-dong Convention Annex

Why it opened at the Samseong-dong Convention Annex on January 27, 2006

Seven Luck Casino Gangnam COEX Branch is a foreigner-only casino located in the Samseong-dong Convention Annex. Public institution materials record its opening date as January 27, 2006, and as of 2023, its operating format is classified as a leased convention casino.

The official address is Convention Annex, 58 Teheran-ro 87-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 06164 (Samseong-dong). The Seoul address 513 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, provided by the user refers to the COEX area, but the facility address shown on the casino’s official page and the Korea Tourism Organization’s information is 58 Teheran-ro 87-gil.

Open 24 hours, but check these conditions before asking about the admission fee

As of August 2026, Seven Luck Casino operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, no admission fee amount could be confirmed in the available published materials, and Korean nationals and minors under 19 cannot enter. Foreign visitors should be prepared to present a passport or other identification during admission.

There is no special dress code for entering the casino, but customers wearing shorts, jerseys, or sandals may be refused entry. If you plan to include a casino visit in your itinerary, prepare your passport and choose clothing with a low likelihood of restriction, such as long trousers and closed-toe shoes.

400 m from Samseong Station Exit 5, 200 m from Bongeunsa Station Exit 7

If you travel by subway, the official route starts at Samseong Station Exit 5 on Line 2. Walk toward Hyundai Department Store, turn right at Hyundai Department Store, and continue straight for about 400 meters. Visitors starting from Samseong Station should leave the station and find the Convention Annex at 58 Teheran-ro 87-gil among the COEX buildings.

At Bongeunsa Station on Line 9, use Exit 7. The indicated route involves turning left at Sparkplus, a shared office, and walking straight for about 200 meters, so Bongeunsa Station is shorter in terms of distance. The facility is located in the Samseong-dong Convention Annex COEX Center, and the official information explains that it can be reached by subway, taxi, or airport bus.

From Incheon Airport Terminal 1 Stop 7A to the COEX City Airport Terminal

When traveling directly from Incheon Airport, the limousine bus stops are Terminal 1 Stop 7A and Terminal 2 Stop 21. Operating hours are 06:00–23:30 at Terminal 1 and 05:40–23:10 at Terminal 2, with intervals of 15–50 minutes. Travel time from the airport to the COEX City Airport Terminal is listed as 65–85 minutes.

If you have a lot of luggage or arrive late at night, an airport taxi is another option. The estimated taxi travel time from Incheon Airport is 60–70 minutes. From Gimpo Airport, the indicated route is from Gimpo Airport Station on Line 9 to Bongeunsa Station on Line 9, and the estimated taxi travel time is 45–50 minutes.

Internal rules prohibit entering with cameras and drinks

The official visitor information states that cameras, electronic devices, metal items, and drinks cannot be brought into the casino. Valuables and bulky luggage may be left at the information desk, so it is advisable to prepare a small bag to carry inside.

Use of electronic devices is also prohibited at the tables. Tripadvisor displays a user photo title stating that interior photography is not permitted, so visitors should not expect to photograph the inside of the casino. On the other hand, registered customers receive free drinks, and games cannot be played while intoxicated.

82 tables and 121 gaming machines: which game to choose first

According to the Korea Tourism Organization’s introduction, the casino covers more than 6,000 m² and has 82 gaming tables and 121 gaming machines. A Tripadvisor user review from April 2019 described the facility as small, basic, and less crowded, and mentioned that table games and slot machines were limited. Because the review and official facility figures may give different impressions, it is more accurate to understand this as a casino space inside COEX rather than expecting an entire large casino-style complex.

The official game guide includes blackjack, baccarat, roulette, casino war, tai sai, Texas hold’em, Caribbean stud poker, Seven Luck poker, and slot machines. Electronic table games allow players to enjoy several games simultaneously on one electronic machine, while Mighty Cash is a jackpot system connecting machines with identical specifications into a group.

• In blackjack, the side whose card total is 21 or closest to 21 wins.
• In baccarat, the side whose player-card total is closer to 9 wins.
• Roulette is a game in which players bet on the number where the ball lands.
• In casino war, the player wins by holding a card of higher value than the dealer’s.
• In tai sai, players receive a payout when the bet number combination matches the sum of the dice.
• Texas hold’em uses two cards and five community cards to form a poker hand.
• Caribbean stud poker is played with one 52-card deck, with the player and dealer each using five cards.
• In Seven Luck poker, the player and dealer each receive three cards, and the higher-ranking hand wins.

Ask about the table minimum and maximum bets first, and plan for two hours

Before starting a table game, check the minimum and maximum bet amounts at that table. The official information describes betting less than the minimum or more than the maximum as a violation of the rules, so asking staff about the limits before taking a seat is necessary for actual use.

Traveler information lists a recommended stay of about two hours. Since the casino operates 24 hours, there is no need to force the visit into a daytime schedule, but admission checks and storing belongings may take time. A realistic approach is to set aside about two hours between shopping and dining plans at COEX. The availability of foreign-language information and audio guides, wheelchair and stroller routes, and cash-only payment could not be confirmed in the published materials.

What to ask when calling 02-3466-6000

Both the main telephone number and the Gangnam COEX Branch CS team number are 02-3466-6000. The official website is https://www.7luck.com/, and when making an inquiry, it is advisable to ask at once about eligible nationalities and identification, table operations on the day, parking fees, and accessibility routes.

The Korea Tourism Organization indicates that parking is available, but the parking fees and location could not be confirmed. The number of available spaces was also not found in the published materials. If you are using a rental car, enter the casino’s official address, Convention Annex, 58 Teheran-ro 87-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 06164 (Samseong-dong), into your navigation system and contact 02-3466-6000 about parking arrangements.

CS team procedure when you want to restrict your own casino visits

Seven Luck Casino states that applications for exclusion requested by the individual or a family member can be submitted at the CS team desk of each branch. An individual application requires one copy of the personal exclusion request form and one copy of the applicant’s identification. A family application requires one copy of a document verifying the family relationship, such as a family relation certificate or marriage certificate.

Examples of rule-violation grounds for exclusion include loan-shark operations, violent behavior, disturbances, possession of weapons, and transferring or receiving identification cards or membership cards. Rather than viewing the casino simply as a nighttime tourist attraction, plan for it as an adults-only facility with strict eligibility and usage rules; games are also not permitted while intoxicated.
