Of late, Goa has witnessed a spate of protests — from ‘Enough is Enough’ to ‘Ponjekars Against Casinos’. The latest flashpoint is the proposed arrival of a massive casino in the Mandovi River.

The Voice host, Palash Agni, points to a telling discovery online: the government-run Goa Tourism Development Corporation Ltd (GTDC) website clearly promotes casinos, with the official portal, goatourism.com, featuring an entire page dedicated to them.
The page describes Goa as the “mini Las Vegas of India” catering to “live gaming seekers looking for Lady Luck,” among other promotional lines. It also lists several casinos, their offerings, and details about the state’s casino scene.
