The state government of Goa has reportedly taken a leaf out of Macau’s playbook and redrafted some of its casino laws, which it now wants the advocate general to examine.

Goa officials are seeking the legal opinion of Advocate General Saresh Lotlikar on the draft gaming rules before they are “brought into force,” the Times of India reported.

If approved, the rules will ban Goa residents from entering casinos in the state “except for employment.”

Reports emerged late last year that the state home department recalled the draft gaming rules file from the law department to be redrafted based on the casino rules used in Macau. The file, according to several news outlets, were recalled after the home department discovered that several terms in the Goa Public Gambling (Amendment) Act, 1976, were not defined, including terms such as area, casino, electronic gaming, live gaming, offshore, offshore casino, onshore casino and passenger capacity.
