Casino in Goa offshore

The setup of the casino was controversial as live gambling is outlawed in India (many states actively promote and sponsor lotteries). This was partially circumvented by hosting it off the mainland. The government in Goa is promoting offshore casinos in Goa by granting new licences to more companies in an attempt to generate more tourist related revenue. Goa state is the only one in India that permits both electronic onland casinos as well as live offshore ones.
The number of new offshore casinos in Goa has grown considerably; amongst the major players are Casino Caravela Casino Royale, Casino Carnival, Casino Pride.
Players are dealt to by dealers specially trained to conduct sessions with accepted international standards.Its high fees are meant to deter casual punters and target the foreign tourists.The government hopes to lure Indian citizens who travel to neighbouring Nepal to gamble.
