Delta Corp gets new casino license in Goa

India’s largest casino operator Delta Corp has received a license to launch another casino in Goa.

On Tuesday, Delta announced it had been granted a license to operate a casino at its Deltin Suites hotel in Goa. Delta says the five-star, 106-room hotel will offer a variety of casino games, including blackjack, baccarat and roulette.

Delta is the dominant player in the Goa casino market, one of only three Indian states that permits casino gambling. Delta currently operates two floating casinos in Goa, the Deltin Royale and Deltin Jack, offering a combined 2,000 gaming positions. A third floating casino, Deltin Caravela, is currently undergoing renovation.

The new Deltin Suites casino will be the company’s first onshore Goa casino. Investors cheered the news, pushing the company’s stock up 6% on Wednesday. Delta is India’s only publicly traded casino firm.
