Grand Korea Leisure (GKL) said on Aug. 14 the company began to commercialize “SevenLuck+,” a mobile service platform, employing a decentralized identity (DID) technology for the first time in the Korean casino industry.
DID is a personally controlled method based on blockchain, which has greater availability among nations and is impossible to forge or alter.
The application “COOV,” issued by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency for authenticating vaccine inoculation, has adopted the same technology.
GKL is expected to offer customers information tailored to meet their needs, such as entry passes, digital membership instead of customers’ cards, and table cashless via the Seven Luck+.
The new technology, applied to the Seven Luck+, was selected in the “K-testbed integrated contest,” organized by the Ministry of Economy and Finance in 2021, and its functions and performances were verified.
It was the first case in which a venture company’s new technology was commercialized into a service on the back of government support, such as public procurement system and sandbox deregulation.
GKL President Kim Young-san said, “I’m pleased to enable the industry’s first ServenLuck+ to open a full-fledged digital service era, and we’ll make every effort to create jobs and pursue shared growth for venture and startup companies based on technologies and infrastructure owned by GKL as a public entity.”
