BJP has been very vocal on its ‘anti-casino’ sentiment with Manohar Parrikar (Goa CM) declaring
that casinos are a nuisance and promised that offshore casinos would be relocated in the Arabian Sea, five nautical miles away from the shore during his election campaign. Reports have indicated that though the BJP is not entirely keen to remove casinos largely due to the legal complications like violation of license agreements with previous governments and the revenue potential from Casino`s as a major attraction for tourists, stringent regulations like banning entry to Goan residents and those below 21 years of age are likely to be enforced along with a stop on the issuance of new Casino licenses.

The casino operators in Goa said the state government’s proposal to bar the locals from entering on-shore and off-shore gaming zones was “unwanted” and would serve no purpose. According to the Casino Association of Goa (CAG), barely five per cent of those who visit casinos are from Goa. CAG executive member, Shrinivas Nayak, said the proposed ban had no meaning. “Less than five percent of the customers who arrive at casinos are from Goa,” Nayak said. Nayak said that a law would only fuel illegalities and bribery. “Some casinos will open backdoors for the locals.” Nayak said that business houses which had cumulatively invested Rs 1,500 crore in casino industry here were on the brink of collapse due to hostile policies of the state. Goa has six off-shore casinos and more than a dozen on- shore ones, based in five-star resorts.

In his budget speech, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday reduced the entry fee to offshore casinos from Rs 2,000 to Rs 500, clearly paving the way for increased footfalls to the gambling hubs, but also increased the annual offshore casino licence fee from Rs 5 crore to Rs 6.5 crore. “I propose that the entry fee for both onshore and offshore casinos to be Rs 500. With this, entry fees collected from offshore casinos would get reduced. However to compensate such reduction in revenue, I propose to enhance the licence fee of offshore casinos to Rs 6.5 crore per year, thereby bringing in additional revenue of Rs 9 crore,” Parrikar said. Parrikar said he had proposed a reduction in the high entry fee because it “leads to incidents of avoidance of payment of such fees” and there was no government mechanism to regulate and keeps a head count on customers entering the casinos.

While the casino industry has said the budget was against it, popular perception as well as the opposition suggests that the reduction of the steep entry down to a quarter would increase footfalls at the six operational offshore casinos parked in the Mandovi river, which flows along the capital. A spokesperson for the casino industry in Goa, Shrinivas Nayak, told IANS that the sector was the “unfortunate victim” in Parrikar’s otherwise populist budget. “The land casinos licence fee has been increased from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 2.5 crore. This is unheard of. Our fee increase is also not a good sign,” Shrinivas said, adding that the increase in entertainment tax from 10 percent to 15 percent would deter investors to invest in Goa, which is evolving as a tourism and entertainment hub in the country. “On one hand they want investors but then they hike taxes like this. This is a lesson for those who want to invest in Goa, perhaps they should think twice now,” said Shrinivas, who operates the offshore unit Casino Pride.

Congress spokesperson Jitendra Deshprabhu said the reduction of licence fee was an ominous sign for the local population. “They (BJP) have reduced licence fee for offshore to Rs 500. He (Parrikar) wants more accessibility to the casinos for Goan youth. Will the BJP women’s wing which had accused the Congress of floating these casinos now oppose their own government and stop youngsters from frequenting casinos?” Deshprabhu said.

It would be interesting to understand how the BJP government reconciles between its ideological opposition to casinos and the necessity of having casinos due to its benefit to the tourism industry and revenue to the exchequer. However, one thing is certain- the casino industry shall have to brace for stricter regulations in the near future.

It’s been a mixed past 7 days for Manchester City. First they beat Liverpool 3-0 and watched local rivals Manchester United lose 3-0 to Newcastle, to extend their Premier League lead to 3 points. Then on Sunday they got knocked out of the FA Cup at home to Manchester United 3-2, after being down to 10 men for most of the match and losing 3-0 at half time.

So what will Wednesday night bring for the Sky Blues?! It is the semi-final first leg of the Carling Cup and a chance for the first silverware of the season as Manchester City take on Liverpool once again! Unibet will be streaming the match live so you can watch and bet on all the action from this top match as well as on the Tuesday night semi-final first leg between Crystal Palace and Cardiff!

OK so it may often be a competition for the kids but at this stage of the Cup any manager not taking seriously the prospect of lifting a trophy at Wembley may be temp

ted to start putting out a stronger line up. For Manchester City who are 2.00 to win, they will relish the prospect of beating Liverpool for the second time in 8 days whilst The Reds will be looking for revenge and are 3.75 to do so. In a tight match the draw is 3.30 and given the last 15 matches between the teams have ended in 7 draws when played at City’s home ground this result is not out of the question.

Liverpool have been a mixed bag this season. Since October they have beaten Chelsea away twice, drawn against Manchester united and picked up a point against Manchester City in the League. However they have also failed to pick up all 3 points against, Blackburn, Wigan, Swansea and Fulham. Currently 6th in the Premier League they could potentially miss out on European Football altogether next season and so will be keen to lift the Carling cup to guarantee themselves in the Europa League.

“Liverpool were awful on their last trip to the Etihad Stadium, but with the return of Steven Gerrard and Manchester City missing the Toure brothers and Vincent Kompany it will be a tougher test for The Blues this time around” says Erik Bäcklund, Head of Unibet Sportsbook.

“Historically, this trophy (quite literally!) has Liverpool’s name written all over it! They have won it 7 times and are 2.75 to do so once again. Manchester City on the other hand have only won it twice, in 1970 and 1976 but are hot favourites at 1.80 to do so again. The other semi-finalists Cardiff City and Crystal Palace are 10.00 and 13.00 respectively to cause a big upset on finals day!”

Whatever the result of the all Premier League clash there is a guaranteed underdog at Wembley with Crystal Palace 2.70 to beat Cardiff in the first leg at home to Cardiff at 2.55. Both matches are live to watch and bet on at Unibet, as will both second leg matches and of course the Carling Cup final at Wembley on Sunday 26th February.
