Anchored in the Mandovi River close to the state capital, Panjim, the Maharajah Casino Goa, the latest venture of the Essel Group, raises the quality of Goan casinos to new and exciting levels.
The public areas, comprising over 20,000 square feet, are spread over four decks, with the casino tables and machines occupying the three lower decks, and the restaurants, bar, and entertainment areas taking the whole of the top deck. The interiors have been designed by the noted casino interior designer Chris Dove, under the direction of Jon Harris,
who has been responsible for opening almost 30 casinos worldwide, including the one at Thessaloniki in Greece, currently the biggest casino in Europe.
The highly experienced management team consists of people who have worked in casinos in many different parts of the world, and can be relied upon to ensure that the Maharajah Casino Goa runs to the highest levels of professionalism and integrity. A full range of live casino games is offered, which include roulette, blackj ack, punto banco\baccarat, casino stud poker, and pontoon. In addition there are two tables of James Bond's newestfavourite game, Texas Hold Em, the poker game that is taking the internet and casinos world-wide by storm. In addition to the live table games there are over 80 slot machine positions, including 18 video roulette terminals, 12 of the very popular Dragon machines, 3 different types of video poker, and a number of very new exciting machines not seen before in India. All machines are linked into jackpot systems so there are always some big (or smaller but more frequent) prizes to play for. Everyone joining the Players Club will earn reward points based on the amount they play. This works in more or less exactly the same way as air-miles, with rewards getting more valuable as the points mount up.
The top deck of the Maharajah Floating Casino in Goa gives a panoramic view of the river. A full buffet and live cooking stations await each and every visitor. Walk through the bar area and a more up-market experience can be found in the fine dining restaurant at the sternofthevessel. There is an entry charge, but most of this is given back in the form of special chips which can be either used to purchase food and drink, or for play in the casino. Two brand new 25/30 passenger capacity launches transport guests from the jetty to the boat. Visit the Maharajah Goa. From the entrance with its chandelier to the entertainment deck, it's a whole new experience.
