Today, we are the only listed company in India engaged in casino gaming, with over 2,000 live gaming positions and state-of-the-art offshore and onshore casinos. We have a presence across Goa and Sikkim and in Online skill gaming. Our offshore casino Deltin Royale, in Goa, is currently India's largest offshore gaming vessel. Deltin JAQK and Kings casino are two other offshore gaming vessels. We also operate an electronic onshore casino at our hotel Deltin Suites in Goa.
We own and operate a live gaming casino in Gangtok, Sikkim, at Hotel Welcome Heritage Denzong Regency, which is displaying good year-on-year performance. It will provide a fillip to tourism and enable Sikkim's gaming market to grow at an even faster pace.
Among our other casinos, The Deltin, a luxury hotel in Daman, continues to be "casino ready" as we await Government approval. Its proposed casino is spread across a sprawling 60,000 sq. ft. of space. Once the casino becomes operational, it will boost tourism in Daman, with the presence of an integrated resort offering gaming, entertainment, luxury, and hospitality.
The anticipated land policy of the Goa government is still on the anvil. Once this materializes, it will lead to the creation of gaming zones and will formalize the industry. Being a leader in the segment in the Goa market, we are well positioned to benefit from this significant change.
Our focus on Online gaming stays, and we continue to enjoy being a market leader. Our gaming portal Adda52 is today India's leading skill-based poker website in the online space.
