Goa

In a nation renowned for spiritual pilgrimages and Yoga retreats, it would seem that the state of Goa is very much the yin to India’s yang. Synonymous with hedonism, this southern state's white-sand beaches, five-star hotels, and all-night-long seaside parties are already legendary; add on the fact that it's the only place in India to allow gambling dens, and you can imagine the activity at its eight hotel casino-resorts. But it's the state's newest gaming offerings that make Goa our wild card entry: five new floating casinos are in the works to entice gamblers to sail the Mandovi River instead. One ship is already doing brisk business: the lavish MS Caravela  departs several times a day from Panaji (the state capital), carrying 300 players who can opt to dine or hit the sundeck and swimming pool when taking a break from the tables or slot machines.
