Nepal government revokes license of three more casinos
The Nepal government has revoked the casino licenses of three more casinos for failure to pay out their outstanding dues.
According to Binod Shrestha, head of the Nepal Casino Association, the three were classified as mini-casinos, which are essentially electronic gaming rooms operating out of four-star hotels.
All three were running on a court stay order and had their licenses issued before new regulation came into effect in 2013.
The three casinos were named as Rock International, Happy Hour, and Oriental Hotels’ Radisson Hotel. The three casinos failed to pay outstanding fees of NPR905.5 million (US$7.4 million).
