I will be in Goa soon and would really like to go to a casino there. One which I have come across is Casino Royale, and I would like to find out what the Casino Royale Goa entry fee is. It would be the first time I would be visiting a casino, so I need to know what the entry fee is for and what it includes if it does include anything.
Hello, welcome to the forum! An Overview The Deltin Royale, also known as the Casino Royale, is Goa's largest and most popular offshore casino. With a dedicated floor just for casino playing and other floors for dining or entertainment, it manages to mix both gambling fun and leisure. For the family man who just wants some time away from work, for the groups of friends who want a unique bonding experience or for the couple who want some night life but doesn't want to venture into the bars, the Deltin Royale is a great choice for them. This is the state's most luxurious casino and you're bound to have a good time when you spend your few hours here. Gambling, though a very delicate topic in the country, when done in moderation, can be a fun activity for tourists in Goa. The Location The Deltin Royale is located in the state capital, Panjim. Specifically, it can be found at the Dayanand Bandodkar Road, in the Mandovi River Jetty. It is just a few metres away from the Casino Pride, another offshore casino in Goa. The nearest attraction to the casino is the Mermaid Garden, which is merely 450 metres away. Restaurants within close distance to the jetty are Subway, Saib and Sairaj Cafe. The Crown and Hotel Republica are the nearest hotels to the jetty area where the casino is located. The nearest bus stop to the jetty is the Panjim Post Office Bus Stop. But the preferred way of reaching the jetty is via taxi, as there are many around Panjim that can take you directly to the jetty area. Upon reaching the jetty area and paying for the required entry fees, you would transferred via boat to the main cruise casino.
