Delta Corp reopens casino in Sikkim

Delta Corp has been allowed to reopen its venue in Sikkim, but there’s no news on its casinos in Goa, Daman, and Nepal.

India.- Delta Corp has reopened its casino in Sikkim following all state safety rules. The casino had reopened in July after suspending operations in the first week of May but was quickly closed again due to a new surge in Covid-19 cases.

There’s no news on Delta Corp’s other casino venues. Covid-19 countermeasures in Goa have been extended until August 23 after 75 new Covid-19 cases were reported on Sunday.

In May, Delta Corp asked authorities for a waiver on licence fees due to the impact on its venues. Delta Corp reported a consolidated net loss of Rs28.93 crore for the first quarter of the year. That compares to a profit of Rs57.77 crore in the previous quarter. 

Net sales declined 64.1 per cent to Rs75.87 crore when compared to the fourth quarter of last year, but were up 57 per cent year-on-year.
