Government to Discuss Rules Regulating Casinos in Goa

A decision on the rules regulating casinos in Goa looks likely to be delayed afte𝓡r Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has sought a detailed discussion on the rules before any judgement is finalised.

A senior government ofไficial said a decision will take place after the coronavirus situation is brought under control.

Since February 2020, only Goans employed in casinos can enter them, with the state government appointing a gaming commissioner🧔 to monitor casinos and check if locals are violating the r🌊ules.

In April, all Goa casinos were shut down and will not reopen anytime soon. Now it is clear that the rules pertaining to the role of gaming commissioner -🌟 which had been sent to the law department for vetting - have now been recalled and sent b💟ack to the chief minister.

Sawant has said that until the rules are ratifi🥀ed, tourists will be permitted to enter casinos when they reopen, but action will be taken against Goans caught gambling.
