The landlocked Indian state is located in the Himalayan Mountains, bordering Nepal and the Indian state of West Bengal.
Delta Corp currently operates three casino vessels in the Indian state of Goa: Deltin Royale; Deltin Jaqk (pictured); and Deltin Caravela. The firm has a land-based casino operation at Deltin Suites, also in Goa, according to the company’s latest annual report.
Goa and Sikkim are the only Indian states allowing some form of casino gaming. Sikkim has two casinos, while Goa offers about 15 gaming venues, according to an April report from consulting firm Global Market Advisors LLC.
