Goa has six off shore casinos, while several five-star hotels also operate casinos.
New rules for casinos, including off-shore ones, will be notified soon under the Goa, Daman and Diu Public Gambling Act, an official said in Panaji today.
The announcement was made by Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant during his Budget speech in the Assembly on Wednesday, the official said.
The rules will streamline the sector and also speak of giving power of issuing tickets to the 'Gaming Commissioner', he said.
