In accordance with The Goa, Daman and Diu Public Gambling Act of 1976, Gaming and Casino facilities are legally allowed to be registered and operated after approaching the Government. However, Casinos are only operational in Goa currently, due to the Local Government stay orders in Daman & Diu. In Goa, Offshore Casinos are operated by Delta Corp, Pride Group (Not be confused with Bangaladesh Textile Group), and Big Daddy. Current Casino Vessels include Deltin Royale, Deltin JAQK, King's Casino (formerly Caravela), Casino Pride, Magestic Pride, and Big Daddy Casino.

Apart from Offshore vessels, Delta Corp, and the Pride Group operate Casinos in land. Most star hotel properties also have smaller casino setups inside them.

The Mandovi River also houses pleasure cruises and rides in the evening. These are rides on large and medium sized vessels in the river which serves as an attraction for the public.
