In 2014, Delta Corp’s subsi💯diary had started a five-star resort named ‘The Deltin’ in Daman and had planned to start electronic amusement/slot machine games at its resort. However, since the company has not received any license or regulatory approval from the union territory administration for the past four and 🍌a half years, it has decided to approach the High Court seeking a direction in the matter.

Delta Corp is India’s only listed gaming company that operates three offshore and one onshore casino in Goa; two hotels in Goa; one resort in Daman and a casino in Sikkim. In 2016, the company also acquired Adda52, an online skill gaming portal.
