Casinos are not legalized at Mumbai yet. If you love to play games and gamble either Chip and  Dice then Goa is the most popular option  The proposal to have casinos in Mumbai, and the possible tourism and revenue benefits from them, are being discussed by the government.

According to Maharashtra Tourism department it is estimate, if allowed, casinos can generate an annual revenue of Rs3,000 crore across the state. Notably the Casino Act, which was framed way back in 1976, recommends that 25% of the revenue share must go to the state.

In October 2015, the Bombay High Court had asked the home department to examine the possibility of notifying the pending Maharashtra Casinos (Control & Tax) Act-1976. In the backdrop of the RM Lodha committee recommendations, the government should allow it at the earliest. It is a good Act as it has a lot of safeguards in terms of preventing under-age gambling and addictions. If allowed, it will fetch thousands of crores for the state as revenue. The Act provides for licensing of casinos, permitting certain types of casino games, taxation of the money paid or agreed to be paid by the participants by way of stakes or bets, and so on.
