About Us – Big Daddy Casino: India's Largest Offshore Gaming Destination

1.1 The Birth of an Idea

The story of Big Daddy Casino begins with a bold vision to transform India’s gaming landscape. Golden Globe Hotels Private Limited (GGHPL) was incorporated in 2008 with a clear mission: to establish a world-class gaming and entertainment destination that would rival the best casinos in Las Vegas, Macau, and Monaco.

The company, a part of the Murli Dhar Lakh Ram (MDLR) Group of Companies, identified Goa as the ideal location for this ambitious project. With its thriving tourism industry, liberal gambling laws, and stunning natural beauty, Goa presented the perfect canvas for creating India’s premier offshore gaming destination.

1.2 The Journey to Launch

The path to launching Big Daddy Casino was not without its challenges. The original vessel intended for the casino, MV Lucky Seven, encountered difficulties during stormy weather in July 2017 when it ran aground at Miramar beach. However, the team at Golden Globe Hotels remained undeterred. Their determination and perseverance paid off when they acquired a specially commissioned 72-metre long and 24-metre wide Panamanian vessel, built in 1995.

This magnificent vessel was meticulously refurbished with imported furnishings and interiors, transforming it into a floating palace of entertainment. The ship features five levels, with the ground floor serving as the largest gaming hall, complete with roulette tables and a vast array of gaming options.

1.3 The Grand Opening

On May 9, 2019, Big Daddy Casino officially opened its doors to the public with an 11-day “Opening Extravaganza” that captured the attention of the nation. The launch event was nothing short of spectacular, featuring:

• Year’s biggest parties with world-class DJs and performers

• Bollywood celebrities adding star power to the celebrations

• World-class gourmet cuisine from our multi-cuisine restaurants

• Unlimited premium beverages for guests

• Electrifying entertainment acts that kept the energy high throughout

The launch even attracted international attention, with social media star and multi-millionaire Dan Bilzerian present for the finals of the India Poker Championship (IPC) . This historic event marked the beginning of a new era in Indian offshore gaming.

1.4 A Historic Achievement

In a remarkable milestone for the Indian gaming industry, Gopal Kanda, the promoter of Big Daddy Casino, made history by becoming the first casino owner to win an election in India, securing a seat in the Haryana legislative assembly. This achievement underscored the growing legitimacy and acceptance of the casino industry in India.

Today, Big Daddy Casino stands as a testament to the vision, perseverance, and dedication of its founders and team. From a bold idea to Asia’s largest offshore gaming destination, our journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Our success has been built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to providing the best possible experience for our players.
