IAG NOV 2019年11月 亞博匯 106 2019 POWER 50 CLAIMS TO FAME • On verge of owning small casinos in the only three Indian states to allow them • Perfectly positioned should Indian casino industry be given the green light 名成事跡 • 該企或可在印度三個邦中營運小型睹場 • 若印度博彩業獲開綠燈，該企處於有利位置 48 CHAIRMAN Delta Corp 董事長 Delta Corp JAYDEV MODY ORIGINALLY a real estate firm, Delta Corp made its first foray into casino gaming in 2008 with the launch of casino ship Deltin Jakq and has since grown to become the country’s dominant player, running three offshore casinos in Goa plus Deltin Suites Casino Hotel at Nerul and Casino Deltin Denzong in Sikkim. But with growth limited by the capacity and access restraints that come with operating from a boat, Delta Corp finds itself anxiously awaiting long-discussed legislation that would see offshore casinos shifted to a new land-based gaming district. While progress on that front continues moving at snail’s pace, Union Gaming’s Grant Govertsen expects approval sooner rather than later, describing the prospect of land-based casinos in India as “transformational.” Likewise, Govertsen names Delta Corp shares as one of the best “Buy” opportunities in gaming due to the potential future value of a land-based Goa IR development. Guided by the steady hand of Chairman Jaydev Mody, the company also owns India’s biggest online poker site, Adda52.com, which it purchased in 2016, and runs casino operations inside the Marriot Hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal. Delta Corp 原本只是一家房地產企業，但於2008年首度涉足賭場博彩市場，營 運賭船Deltin Jakq後，該企自此發展成為印度博彩業巨頭，在果阿邦營運三家 離岸賭場，以及內魯爾的Deltin Suites娛樂場酒店及錫金邦的Deltin Denzong 娛樂場。 鑑於賭船的增長前景受制於容量及出入有限等問題，Delta Corp焦急地 等待博彩法案立法，該法案已經長期討論，可讓賭船上岸成為賭場，發展成新博 彩區域。 雖然有關立法過程進度仍然緩慢，但Union Gaming分析師Grant Govert- sen預計法案通過宜早不宜遲，形容印度實體在岸賭場前景具變革力，並指鑑於 果阿邦未來具潛力發展實體在岸綜合度假村，在眾多博彩股中，Delta Corp股 票值得「買入」。 在董事長Jaydev Mody的穩健領導下，Delta Corp於2016年購入了印度 最大的撲克網站Adda52.com並營運至今，亦在尼泊爾加德滿都萬豪酒店營運 賭場。 POWER SCORE 權能指數 : 590 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名 : 46
