Report_ Korea Might Ban Steam
Published on January 01, 0001
According to several reports from over the weekend, the ratings board of South Korea is cracking down on the distribution of unrated video games in 
the country, and has everything from homebrew games to Valve’s Steam service in its 
sights.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The law in Korea currently states that all games must 
be rated by the government. Doesn’t matter if it’s a AAA blockbuster or some mobile game a kid made in his bedroom, if it’s publicly available, then it has to be rated. This of course costs money, so many developers avoid doing this. Hence the crackdown. So far a site that lets people build their own RPG games has been targeted, being forced to remove all user-made games, while threats have also been made against Valve’s online PC store Steam, which sells games in Korea but does not carry Korean ratings. Hopefully things won’t get that drastic; according to a translation of the piece by teamliquid, a “complete betdog block sbfplay is on the table”, but the Korean ratings board is “seeking alternate options”. 밸브 게임사이트 차단 검토 [DT, via teamliquid] South Korean Game Rating Board Cracks ufa747 Down on Indies [TIGSource]

The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
