Nepali government set to introduce casino regulations
Laxman Bhattarai, Spokesperson for the ministry said they have been constantly receiving complaints about a number of malpractices prevalent in the casino business. "We have realized the necessity of close monitoring and this is why the ministry is planning to introduce a set of regulations," Bhattarai said.
Currently, Nepal Police have been keeping a tab on such unscrupulous activities but as per the Gambling Act their mandate is limited to restricting the entry of Nepali citizens into the casinos. The new procedures would set a number of standards, including maintaining international standard service quality, Bhattarai told the daily.
Currently, there are 10 casinos in operation in the capital Kathmandu and western tourism city Pokhara, with each casino paying around us$ 270,270 as royalty to the government.
However, Bhattarai ruled out any possibility of amending the law to allow Nepali to gamble in the casinos. "Allowing Nepali citizens in casinos would mean inviting economic and social problem for them," added Bhattarai.
