# Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort Opens Casino For Overseas Visitors Only
Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort, a beacon of luxury and innovation in the heart of Yeongjong Island, announces the opening of Inspire Casino, the nation's most advanced gaming facility.
Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on Jan. 23 awarded the license to the Mohegan Inspire for its casino business exclusively for international visitors, marking a significant milestone in the Korean gaming sector. The license, awarded for the first time in 19 years, highlights the progressive steps under the Special Act on the Designation and Management of Free Economic Zones. Since being selected as the operator of the resort complex project in March 2016, the Mohegan Inspire has invested around $1.6 billion to complete the first development phase in a venture that has been led by the Mohegan tribe.
"We are delighted that the Mohegan Inspire has successfully carried out these development steps over the past seven years and obtained permission for international visitor-only casino businesses," said Inspire Chairman Chanci Mohegan. "Since the soft opening, we have seen visitors experience and enjoy memorable performances at the Arena, Aurora's fantastic digital show, and the quiet and luxurious escape of the 3 Tower Hotel. We will continue to play a leading role in supporting and growing the local economy, providing first-time and returning guests, international tourists, K-pop and K-culture fans, and casino visitors with diverse amenities and unparalleled experiences."
Inspire Casino is set to become the nation's largest international visitor-only casino, boasting 150 game tables, 390 slot machines, and a modern 160-seat Electronic Table Game (ETG) stadium spanning two floors. The casino is built to accommodate guests ranging from public markets to VIPs and offers exclusive environments including original Cantonese cuisine, Inspire Pavilion, and fine dining such as VIP floors. Strategically located next to Incheon International Airport, Mohegan Inspire is not only adjacent to one of Asia's major air travel hubs but also enjoys the benefits of this top location convenient within a four-hour flight radius from major metropolises including Tokyo, Osaka, Taiwan, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
"As we unveil the Inspire Casino, we continue to pioneer a new era of international hospitality," said Ray Pino, CEO of Mohegan. "This ambitious project is a testament to Mohegan's commitment to excellence and marks an important milestone in our growth as the preeminent owner and developer of an integrated entertainment resort. We take tremendous pride in enriching Incheon's vibrant landscape, promoting economic development, and establishing a new paradigm in entertainment around the world."

This is an important step in solidifying its status as a new generation resort, welcoming guests from all backgrounds to help the unforgettable moments of encountering diverse cultures fall into an inspiring world.
