Kangwon Land (hangul:강원랜드) is a South Korean casino and resort company based in Gangwon Province, South Korea. The Company develops abandoned mines and builds gaming and entertainment facilities.^[1] Kangwon Land operates a number of game tables and slot machines for domestic and international customers under its gaming licenses.^[2]

History[edit]

Kangwon province where Kangwon Land is located, was well known as a coal mining area. It once experienced a “coal rush” when coal was used as a major national energy source during 1970 to 1980s. The Kangwon province had experienced devastating economic downturns since coal was replaced by gas and oil in the 90s. The Korean government tried to introduce several alternatives to revitalize the local economy, but the community repeatedly and vigorously requested a domestic casino, and it became authorized in December 1995. ^[3]

In October 2000, when Kangwon Land first opened to Korean citizens as well as to international tourists, it had one hotel with 199 rooms and a casino that had only 30 table games and 480 slot machines.

Kangwon Land operates two hotels with 674 rooms, two condominiums with 403 rooms, an 18-hole golf course, a ski resort with 18 slopes, and a casino with 132 table games and 960 slot machines on 2,800 acres of land. The effort to diversify sales continues today, as Kangwon Land is constructing a new convention hotel and 2 more condominiums. A new water park is scheduled to open in 2015 to complete the family-oriented year round comprehensive resort.

Kangwon Land offers a scholarship to students in abandoned mine areas and also spends 2 billion won each year to treat pneumoconiosis patients and support their livelihood. ^[4]

High1 Resort[edit]

High1 CC[edit]

The course is over 6,500 meters long. Many amenities are offered at High1 CC, including a 200-meter practice range, a tea house located near the 4th and 14th holes, and a start house offering snacks and drinks as well as an integrated sauna and swimming pool.^[8]

Multimedia Fountain Kangwon Land[edit]

Multimedia Fountain works in spring, summer and fall. Multimedia Fountain Kangwon Land is considered Asia's largest musical fountain.^[7] The project design and development was performed by Emotion Media Factory, a Germany-based company responsible for the dancing fountains in Chiang MaiNight Safari Park (Thailand) and Vinnytsia Fountain Roshen (Ukraine) as well as the multimedia shows for AIDA Cruises.

The Magical Box multimedia fountain show consists of the big cube system and the fountain. In combination with the fountain during daylight hours the box appears mirrored, but at night it is illuminated to reveal its interior. At night a globe can be seen, some 20 meters in diameter. The special lighting effects give the impression that the globe is rotating and displays the five continents of the world.

Inside the globe is the 'Dome Cinema'. The 'Dome Cinema' has a diameter of 18 meters and is used as the projection area. Video images from TV, DVD, or VHS sources are projected directly into the dome. These images fill almost two thirds of the space. As a result of the various depths of the room, a new laser video system is used to ensure that the images are not distorted. Outside the 'Miracle World Box' is the largest fully automatic screen (24 m x 24 m) in the world! Lighting effects, laser projections and synchronized choreographies ensure a unique and unforgettable experience.

All of the technology used in and around the 'Miracle World Box' was designed, developed and installed by Emotion Media Factory in August 2007.

Multimedia system consists of 180 m water fountains, water screen, video, light, 12 multi-coloured fire units, and laser.

Attractions[edit]

The Arari Village Theme Park is an exhibition area where visitors can stay a few days and see what the people were like in a rural village during the Joseon Dynasty. In addition to mementos like Seo-nang-dang (a shrine in honor of a deity) and jang-seung (totem poles) located at the entrance to the village, yeon-ja-bang-a (a millstone usually worked by an ox) and a farming tool workshop display, the theme park is designed to show how the people living in this area were engaged in their community. Traditional houses in the theme park were built on the basis of meticulous historical research.^[9]
