Six casino proposals for Indian state

The Andhra Pradesh state government received six proposals to open a casino in the Indian state.

India.- Despite receiving multiple proposals to open a casino in Andhra Pradesh, the Indian state government hasn’t made a decision yet. Some of the proposals have been pending for more than two years.

NRI Siva Prakash Bobba said: “I find one of the islands in the river Krishna very much suitable for setting up a casino. I’m planning to propose the island to the government.” The NRI also said that the plan is in tune with the government’s grand design of creating a replica of Sentosa amusement park from Singapore in India.

In order to allow casinos to work in the area, the companies would also need and amendment to the Andhra Pradesh Gaming Act from 1974, which prohibits gambling. Currently, casinos are in operation in Goa, Daman and Sikkim.
