Grand Korea Leisure (GKL) signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corp. (KOMSCO) to enhance visitors’ digital experience at the nation’s largest foreigner-only Seven Luck casino.

According to a public company under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Friday, GKL has applied KOMSCO’s latest digital security and authentication technology to its mobile service platform SevenLuck+.

It said in a press release that KOMSCO’s digital technology will improve the platform’s security and facilitate the casino’s digitalization in service.

“GKL is doing its best to transform it into a smart casino,” GKL President Yoon Doo-hyun said during the signing ceremony with KOMSCO at the company’s headquarters in Seoul, Thursday. “We will continue helping other casinos’ digital transformation with our digital technology and data.”

Under the partnership, SevenLuck+ will use KOMSCO’s identification verification technology at the casino’s entrance, issue digital membership cards and provide a cashless electronic wallet service powered by the public agency responsible for printing and minting the banknotes and coins and other government documents. It also offers tailored information services as well as coupons via the platform.

In a bid to actualize them, KOMSCO is expected to share its digital watermarking technology while jointly developing paperless identification services for short-term visitors to Korea.
