I have been avoiding the casinos in Seoul because of all the horrible reviews that i read on this and other travel sites. Playing perfect basic strategy you can reduce the house edge to 0.58% :) I would probably go back just for the food and the somewhat favourable rules for the player. I often saw men use the bathroom and not wash their hands too which is, frankly, disgusting.

It's pretty gross thinking about how everyone is sharing chips with dirty hands. Even in the age of covid, nobody used the hand sanitizer available. My main gripe with the casino is hygiene. Using a continuous shuffler, they aim to get as many hands dealt to the players to make that house edge count. There are alcoholic drinks available too but I tend not to mix cards with booze. The food in the canteen was of a decent standard and with a members card and regular play you are eligible for 2 'free' meals per day. Dealer hits soft 17, blackjack pays 3:2, double on any 2 cards, split up to 4 times, late surrender.

There are generally 2 BJ tables open with minimums of either 10k won or 50k - during popular times it is almost impossible to get a seat at the 10k table. Most of the players are focused on the pairs side bet (odds 13:1 pays 11:1) If you are keen on basic strategy, be warned you will very much be in the minority. I was staying at the Intercontinental coex for 2 months on a business trip and frequented this casino regularly to play Blackjack.
