Sheldon Adelson, chief executive of Las Vegas Sands, says he has regularly asked the Indian government for permission to open a casino resort in Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi or Bangalore. So far all his requests have been rejected by the government.

Adelson, who in 2007 and 2008 was ranked the third richest man in America by Forbes magazine, told the Indian press agency PTI: “There are thousands of underground gambling holes, people bet on cricket, horses, so why not use it as a legitimate source of income and employment, coupled with world class spas, restaurants and ballrooms.”

Adelson managed to win the contract for one of two government endorsed casinos in Singapore and he recently oversaw the opening of the Marina Bay Sands, a $5.6 billion project in the centre of Singapore. Adelson has said that he sees comparisons between Singapore and India, in that Singapore’s government was very anti-gambling until they saw that their population wanted it and would travel to neighbouring countries if it was not provided on their doorsteps.

He also pointed out that the gambling element of the Marina Bay sands is very small and governments should look at the developments as a tourism destination which happened to include gambling. “The Marina Bay Sands has a casino… that is just 1% of the total property, but is its central feature,” he said.

He also pointed out that the casino part of any resort was aimed at the middle class, as is the case in their Macau development: “We are definitely not looking at the working class who would not be able to afford it, but we are targeting the Indian middle class, offering them an experience they have not had before.”

We have listed a large number of online bookmakers who take bets from India and we would especially recommend four bookmakers who service the Indian market - Bet 365, William Hill, Ladbrokes and Betfair.

The question of whether it is legal to bet from India using an international bookmaker is not clear in law. While bookmakers in India are illegal, there is no specific law in India which bans an individual customer from placing an online bet with a bookmaker based outside India.

India Bet’s preferred bookmakers are:

Bet 365

Bet 365 customers can set up an online betting account from an Indian address. People setting up an account at Bet365 can also choose to manage their account in Indian Rupees rather than in U.S Dollars or British Pounds.

Bet 365 will accept bets from Indian customers in every state in India.

Bet 365 is one of the world’s largest online bookmakers and is based in Stoke in the United Kingdom. It is a family-owned business belonging to the Coates family, who also own Stoke City football club. It is one of the most respected and trusted bookmaking businesses in the world.

Matka (also known as Satta) is a form of gambling that was created in Mumbai, India. The game really took off in the 1970’s until the 1990’s under the influence of Ratan Khatri. Mr. Khatri is known as the “Matka King” and is credited with transforming Matka into the largest gambling craze in the whole of India.

Matka is a game in which people bet a stake on random numbers drawn. The original form of the game was played by betting on the opening and closing rates of wholesale cotton traded on the Bombay Cotton Exchange at Siwri. For many years this was the only way of betting on figures.

Ratan Khatri devised a system of betting on figures made up from the total face value of three cards drawn twice a day. If the first draw made, for example, was Ace, seven, eight (Ace has a value of 1) then the total face value would be 16. This value would need to be changed into a single digit so the opening number for the first draw would be 7. There would be a “matka” or pot shown on various places throughout the city that looked like this: 178 7x

The second draw was usually made at midnight and if the cards drawn were 5, 3 and 6 then the “matka” displayed would be shown as 178 7×5 536.

Players can bet on the numbers they think will be the opening and closing values and if they get both right they win 80 times their stake. If the player bets only on the open or close numbers and guess the correct number they will win eight times the stake.

If somebody bet Rs1 on the number 75 being the “open/close” number in the previous example they would win Rs 80. Usually players try to make multiple bets so as to try and guarantee as much as possible some sort of return on their stake.

Matka payouts are usually made the day after the draw and five “satta” sessions are conducted each week. It is estimated that the Matka industry is worth around Rs 350 crore (Rs 3,500,000,000) each year.

The Himalyan state of Sikkim is planning to start the bidding process for online gambling licences within the next two weeks. Thirteen operators are bidding for three licences with the aim of being live by April 2010.

It is not clear if operators will only be allowed to take bets from gamblers in Sikkim but it seems likely that operators will only bid significant amounts if they can take bets from all of India as Sikkim only has a population of 600,000 people and their per capita income is low. It is unlikely that operators will be permitted to advertise their services outside Sikkim.

The Indian gambling market is estimated to be worth around US$60 billion per year. The market is largely run on a credit basis currently with illegal street bookmakers.

William Hill, Betfair, Bwin and 888.com are all expected to bid for the licences. Ladbrokes are said to be considering a bid but have not yet found a local partner - in order to enter the Indian market foreign companies must find a local partner.

Currently Indians can only legally gamble on either horseracing or in casinos in Sikkim and Goa. The Goan casino operators have recently increased entrance charges to their casinos tenfold to try and reduce the number of local Indians gambling in their premises.

The first casino in India opened in Goa in January 2001. In 2004 it was announced that no more casinos would be allowed in the state but in 2007 the state government decided to permit a substantial increase in the number of casinos in the state.

There are seven legal land-based casinos in Goa and five offshore casinos, which run on specially adapted boats which ply their trade on the Mandovi river.

The onshore casinos are the Las Vegas Casino at Leela Resort Goa, Chances Casino at Vainguinim Valley Goa,  Hacienda De Oro Casino at Holiday Inn Goa, Winners Casino at  Goa Marriott Resort, Goldfinger Casino at Cidade de Goa, Treasure Casino Majorda Beach Resort and the  Mint Club Casino at Rivera De Goa Resort.

The offshore floating casinos are the Casino Royale Goa, Casino Goa, Casino Rio , King’s Casino Goa and Casino Mint Goa.

All the Goan casinos offer table games such as blackjack and baccarat and a wide range of slot machines.

The only other state that permits casino gambling is Sikkim, a small Himalyan state in India. With gambling in neighbouring Nepa being legal, many Indians travel to Nepal to play in their casinos. Sikkim decided that this was a wasted revenue opportunity and in 2008 passed legislation to allow casinos in the state.

On 1 March, 2009 the Casino Sikkim was opened by state tourism minister RB Subba. At the time he said that seven further casino applications were being considered by the state.

The Casino Sikkim is based in The Royal Plaza in Gangtok and is open from 6pm to 4am every day of the week. It currently has 10 slot machines, two roulette tables, one flush table, one baccarat table and one blackjack table. It is open to players who are 18 and above.

The Casino Sikkim is owned by the Teesta Rangit group who plan to expand the operations considerably by the summer of 2010.
