We love to hear the feedback of the gamers and ensure that the challenges being faced by them are something that we can implement real change in. I am glad and honored to be a part of MOGO’s Campus Ambassador program.”
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. I am grateful for the opportunities and support that MOGO has provided me,” said Pranav Kumar Vasudeva of VIT Bhopal. “I am committed to contributing my best efforts to make a positive impact in Indian esports. MOGO has given me great opportunities to showcase my talents, use my potential to the fullest and work on my skills even more. MOGO has also provided me with a very healthy work environment where I can share the problems I face as an intern with my managers.”
Snigdha Deb of VIT Bohpal stated that “I’m pushing boundaries and constantly improving. It’s been a great journey so far, and I have learned a lot of things from my seniors at MOGO, including how to communicate with different people.

Working here has been completely amazing and made me realize my passion for gaming at its best and helped me work on it. MOGO gave me a platform to showcase my talent by promoting me as their Intern in January 2023. It’s a great place to do an internship – lots of learning, to-do tasks with leader assistance and mentorship guidance.”

Grand Korea Leisure (GKL), a quasi-public firm operating Seven Luck casinos for foreign nationals in Korea, has entered into a partnership with autonomous robot specialist Robotis to introduce artificial intelligence (AI)-powered self-driving robots customised for casino operations.
Under the agreement, the two companies plan to establish joint business models and service systems using autonomous robots and deploy the self-driving robots for transporting gaming chips and cards across three Seven Luck casino facilities.
They will also participate in a large-scale convergence robot demonstration project by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
The latest achievement came as part of GKL’s efforts to digitize casino operations.
The two firms began a six-month pilot Programme in September 2024 at Seven Luck Casino at Seoul Dragon City hotel to collect autonomous driving data and jointly develop software tailored to casino environments.
“GKL is accelerating its transition to smart casinos in line with the government’s drive to realize the so-called ‘digital platform government’. By adopting AI-powered self-driving robots, we aim to provide a new and differentiated customer experience,” GKL CEO Yoon Doo-hyun said.
The digital platform government initiative — pushed by the Yoon Suk Yeol administration — aims to resolve diverse social problems and add value using the latest digital technologies.
In August 2023, GKL developed a mobile service platform, the SevenLuck+, for foreign tourists’ easier access to the casino.
The service is the first of its kind developed by a Korean firm. Those who use the app do not have to bring traditional membership cards. It also provides push notifications for new events and promotions for the casino.
The service is powered by a blockchain-based decentralized identity technology, offering various services, such as e-wallet and entry authentication.
