Floating casinos in the Indian state of Goa have been granted yet another reprieve from their proposed expulsion from the Mandovi river.

On Wednesday, Goa’s state government announced that the five shipboard casinos currently plying their trade on the Mandovi had been given an additional six months to find an alternate waterway to call home. The government had previously announced the casinos would need to find a new home by September 30.

Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said he doubted that the government would require the full six months to come up with a solution to relocating the floating casinos. “By December, as promised, we should be able to come out with a policy.”

For years now, Goa’s government has been trying to find a new temporary location for its floating casinos, but ‘not in my backyard’ attitudes seem to prevail wherever the government suggests alternatives.
