The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The gist of the grounds for appeal is that the court below's punishment (the fine of KRW 7,00,000, the confiscation) is too unreasonable.
2. The instant crime was committed in favor of the Defendant, on September 7, 2013, by setting up 20 game machines which were not rated from around September 10, 2013 to around October 10, 2013, and offered them for customers to use, and exchanged the points obtained by using the said game machine. As such, the Defendant recognized the instant crime and reflected it, and the Defendant’s period of running the illegal game room business is relatively short.
However, in light of the seriousness of the social harm and harm caused by the crime of this case, the crime related to illegal game room business, such as the crime of this case, in light of the promotion of a speculative spirit of the general public and the aggravation of the desire to work, etc., a serious punishment is inevitable; the defendant is a person who established and operated the above game room and has a significant nature of the crime; the defendant has been punished several times due to the crime of gambling and gambling, etc. in the past, and the defendant has committed a crime of gambling in the past. Considering the defendant's age, character, conduct and environment, family relationship, circumstances of the crime, and means and result of the crime, it is difficult to view that the court below's punishment is unreasonable because it is excessively excessive.
Therefore, the defendant's assertion is without merit.
3. In conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act since it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
