Mopa will be Macau and Las Vegas of Goa. The Manohar Parrikar government is planning to bring a new law to allow a Gaming Zone near Mopa air port to set up all the casinos there with 15-year licence.



Even river casinos will be shifted there. Till then, the river casinos will get an extension for four years. And one more land casino has been allowed in Candolim. These are the explosive allegations made by the Congress.

GPCC President Girish Chodankar has called it a huge scam. And this Casino Zone would be allowed by bringing a new act, which would be called Goa Public Gambling Restrictions Act.

The Congress also accused the government of allowing this gaming zone to happen in a land owned by one Modi, who owns casinos in Goa.

Former Calangute MLA Agnelo Fernandes has said a casino is planned in a hotel at Candolim.


Local MLA Michael Lobo who had threatened to resign against casinos in Candolim, should step down now, challenged Agnelo.  


Girish also had an interesting take on the helpline number started by Goa Forward Party.
