A Review of Casinos in India
Goa is the only state in India to allow both on-land and off-shore casinos. Thousands of people flock this tourist hot-spot every year, not just for the pristine beaches and relaxed lifestyle, but also for its intoxicating and fun casino circuit. In fact, the Goan casino industry is estimated to grow at a staggering rate of 50 percent annually.
Here is a look at the top casinos in Goa that you must include in your itinerary:
Las Vegas Casino, The Leela Kempinski
This 24-hour casino, at The Leela Kempinski, is definitely a high-rollers’ paradise. Get ready to lose yourself in the slot machines, blackjack, mini flash, roulette, derby games and much more. The Leela Resort itself boasts of high-end facilities, including a ‘par 3’, 12-hole golf course. The guests also have access to the private Mobor beach. Moreover, the Leela Resort offers a wide choice of 152 suites and villas, with a host of leisure activities and dining options.
Goldfinger Casino, Cidade De Goa Resort
Located at Vainguinim Beach, Goa, the Goldfinger Casino has as many as 35 slots, with state-of-the-art gaming facilities that can be accessed 24 hours a day. The thrills include mini flash, blackjack, baccarat and roulette. The Goldfinger Casino also hosts a grand computerized derby, which is homage to the conventional Las Vegas horse-betting salon. The restaurant and bar at the Cidade De Goa Resort offers nothing-but-the-best to its clientele. You can indulge in ‘happy hours’ or savor the rich continental menu.
Treasures Casino, Majorda Beach Resort
One of the key features of The Treasures Casino is the location itself. The Majorda Beach is one of the most spectacular beaches in Goa. There’s a lot to do at the Majorda Resort, from gym and health club to Ayurvedic massage and shopping arcade. At the casino, there are multiple jackpot slots and video machines. It also offers live table games like blackjack and roulette. The casino is open from 12 pm to 1 am everyday.
Note that, all the casinos in Goa charge an entry fee, which can be anywhere between Rs.200 to Rs.2500 per person. You are also required to follow a set dress code, which is usually formal or smart casual. Slippers and cotton shorts are generally not allowed. Additionally, you have to be 18 or older to get entry into a casino in Goa.
Rakesh Wadhwa. Ever since, I was a school boy, I knew India was on the wrong path. Socialism was just not what we needed to get ahead. Government controlled our travel; government controlled our ability to buy and sell; and government controlled our freedom to move our money. My life has focused on the inherent rights people have. When I was in college, I never understood, what the governments meant by their "socialistic attitude". If people are free to buy, sell and move their capital themselves without any restrictions by state, then the welfare of people is inevitable & hence the countries they live in will become wealthy. The government has no right whatsoever, to point a finger at me or my business. I am not a revolutionary. I just want to light up my cigarette and not get nagged about it. I believe in non-interfering attitude to attain more. 
The Bastiat Award is a journalism award, given annually by the International Policy Network, London. Bastiat Prize entries are judged on intellectual content, the persuasiveness of the language used and the type of publication in which they appear. Rakesh Wadhwa won the 3rd prize (a cash award of $1,000 and a candlestick), in 2006.

October 31, 2011You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
