After hiking the entry fee in both land-based and offshore casinos from Rs.200 to Rs.2,000 in the last budget, Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat Thursday sought to 'rationalise' the fee structure by slashing the cost of entering land-based casinos to Rs.500.
Kamat, who also holds the finance portfolio, said that the reduction in entry fee 'would provide some relief to the industry (land-based casinos)'.

Kamat also said that his government was in the process of setting up a system to put in place gaming regulations to govern casino operations in the state.
'I propose to set up a committee in association with financial intelligence unit, to examine the issue in greater detail and make necessary recommendations,' Kamat said, adding that a separate act for regulating casino gaming was also in the offing.
