Tag Archive: gambling in India

The first point we should make is that all forms of gambling are strictly illegal throughout the Indian subcontinent. This is mainly thanks to religious reasons. Yet there is one game that the Hindus will encourage you and your family to play once a year on New years eve. This is the board game of Dyuta Krida. Mind you, it's not just a case of getting out the board and beginning a game. There's a whole ritual involved to ensure the game can help to bring good fortune to the coming year.

Though there is a number of arcane laws that put a stop to all gambling in India, there are a few states that are trying hard to legalize gambling, both at the casino and online. On such state is Sikkim, which though poorly populated, has a much more progressive attitude towards all forms of gambling. In Goa, there are a number of casinos. In truth, the Indian gambler can simply go online using a VPN and find a foreign casino that accepts Rupees and he's good to go.
