Continuing on the aggressive policy to expand its presence in both the online and offline gaming space in the country, Delta Corp has announced the launch of its Casino Deltin Denzong at Hotel Denzong Regency in Gangtok on Jan 14.

Sikkim already has two existing casinos — Casino Mahjong in the Mayfair Resort and Casino Sikkim in Hotel Royal Plaza. However, Hotel Denzong Regency is said to have a more convenient and strategic location and is the closest from Gangtok city.

Casino licenses are granted only to five-star hotels in the Himalayan state.

In July 2016, Delta Corp had notified the stock exchanges that it had secured a provisional license to operate a casino in Gangtok’s Denzong Regency Hotel. The company’s share price rose 4% on the BSE when it announced signing of a leave and license agreement for premises in the hotel to operate a casino.

Under the partnership, the hotel will lease the gaming space to Delta Corp., which, in turn, will be “responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of the new casino.”

According to a report on Glaws.in, Ugen Gyatso, Tourism & Civil Aviation Minister of Sikkim will be the Chief Guest at the opening ceremony, while GM Gurung, the state’s Public Works, Culture & Heritage Minister is slated to be the Guest of Honour.

Delta Corp already operates three offshore and one onshore casino in Goa while its resort in Daman is awaiting an onshore casino license. The addition of another casino in Sikkim will further strengthen its presence as a dominant and formidable player in the Indian gaming and entertainment space, the company said in a statement.
