SEOUL/HONG KONG, June 21 (Reuters) - South Korea has rejected preliminary casino licences for two international bidders, a Caesars Entertainment and Lippo Limited consortium, and Kazuo Okada's Universal Entertainment.
The surprise move could stall plans for casino development as a means to attract tourists.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism confirmed to Reuters on Friday that both requests for licences were rejected. A ministry spokeswoman was not able to provide a reason for the rejection.
