While the casino business in Goa is marching under the influence of relocation needs, the problem has now downshifted to the union territory of Daman and Diu. A subsidiary of registered gaming organization Delta Corp Limited, Daman Hospitality Private Limited, on December 13 presented a warrant appeal in the Bombay High Court demanding the government to command the Union Territory authority to award a casino permit to the organization under Section 13A of the Goa, Daman and Diu Public Gambling Act, 1976.

The administrative filing in the National Stock Exchange (NSE), approved by Delta Corp’s GM Dilip Vaidya & Company Secretary, declares that “Daman Hospitality has registered the appeal, which identifies the Administrator of the U.T of Daman, U.T. Administration of Daman and Diu and Director of Tourism, as respondents.”

Started in 2014, the 5-star retreat ‘The Deltin’ had projected to extend live and automated gaming at the campus and even introduced automatic slot machine recreations at the retreat.

They had requested the appropriate jurisdictions to obtain the needed permissions, though, four years have passed by after that and the organization is yet to get any permission or regulatory consent from the Union Territory government. In lieu of a necessity of process, Delta Corp has now determined to address the Bombay High Court to solicit support in this circumstance.

Delta Corp has over the ages strongly entrenched itself in the gaming and betting area. With a sum of four clubs working in two branches of the nation, one in Sikkim (north-east) and three in Goa (south), while further controlling an online ‘skill gaming’ industry, i.e. the Adda52 poker site, it is no shock that the organization posted a 39% extension in income for the financial Q2 which expired on September 30.After having fortunately fixed up casinos in Goa and Sikkim, Daman was the next legitimate option for Delta Corp as the union territory would have covered the plan for the national casino giant to reach the yet untapped Gujarat business, which would have certainly remained a wing in the cap of India’s only scheduled gaming organization.
