Goa: only five-star hotels have a right for casino
The government of the Indian state of Goa has entitled 5-stars hotels to operate a casino in which playing only automatic devices are allowed.
Though Goa - is one of the most popular tourist directions, infrastructure and the services market, which could keep tourists for long time, are insufficiently developed. Authorities hope, that the casino will help hoteliers with this problem and, as consequence, it will increase inflow of means to treasury.
Originally the license for a casino cost 1 million rupees, except for that it was necessary to pay an annual payment in 40 000 rupees for the main machine and on 30 000 - for additional one. It is allowed to have no more than 20 slot machines at each hotel.
It was already informed, that soon in Goa there will be a casino on water. For them the registration payment for 5 years makes 50 million rupees, except for that they should pay 100 000 rupees for updating of the license every year. The government also receives 200 rupees as an entrance payment for each casino’s visitor.
The casino has been operating in Goa for already some time, but only one year ago the government began to take taxes from them. Since almost 8,5 million rupees has gone to the treasury of Goa.
