This curriculum went beyond simple gaming technique instruction, focusing on emphasizing the legal regulations and ethical responsibilities of the casino industry.

Educational Program Structure and Objectives

This Casino Academy program was designed for the healthy development of the casino industry. Trainees were required to complete coursework in dealing techniques, customer service etiquette, casino-related laws, and addiction prevention. In particular, the curriculum included mandatory training on accurate understanding of game rules and preventive counseling techniques to help customers avoid excessive betting. An education official stated, "The core objective of this training is to cultivate professional managers who protect the integrity of the industry, rather than mere technicians who conduct games."

Background for Strengthening Industry Professionalism

Changes in the Casino Industry and Talent Demand

Recently, the casino industry has been evolving beyond simple entertainment spaces into complex resort-style tourism industries. Consequently, there is a surging demand for talent equipped with professional customer service skills and regulatory compliance capabilities. In line with these market changes, Kangwon Land updates its Casino Academy curriculum annually. In 2026, it introduced new training on game management systems utilizing digital technology to enhance operational efficiency.

Importance of Legal Regulations and Ethical Education

Responsible gambling is the most emphasized part of the Casino Academy's curriculum. Trainees learn through case studies on how to respond in the field to ensure that casino users do not face gambling-related problems. This is considered an essential process for the domestic casino industry to establish itself as a healthy leisure sector. In accordance with the government's trend of strengthening casino-related regulations, the program strictly instructs trainees to comply with relevant laws and regulations.
