Nepal’s Department of Industry has opened its doors to another foreign gaming company to begin operating a casino in partnership with a local firm.

The latest nod was given to Goa-based gaming company Goa Coastal Resorts, which will be partnering with Nepal-based Entertainment and Recreational Pvt Ltd. to launch and operate Casino Pride at the Hyatt Hotel in Kathmandu

“We have registered a company under the name of ‘Casino Pride’, which is scheduled to come into operation by one and a half month,” one of the promoters of the company told Nepalese news site eKantipur.

Tourism Department Director General Tulasi Gautam confirmed that the company has already registered at the Department of Industry, but noted that it hasn’t applied for the permit with the tourism department.
