In India, the casino ban refers to the legal restrictions on gambling activities, including casinos. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 is the primary law that prohibits operating or visiting gambling houses in most parts of the country. However, some states like Goa, Sikkim, and Daman have legalized casinos to promote tourism and generate revenue. For instance, in Goa, offshore casinos on ships and land-based casinos in five-star hotels are permitted. These local products, such as the Deltin Royale casino in Goa, offer games like blackjack, roulette, and slot machines, attracting both domestic and international tourists. Despite this, online casinos remain largely banned, with the government blocking many international sites to curb illegal betting. |
