Illegal casino operations are emerging as a lucrative underground industry in Rajasthan, where organized gambling events are hosted in luxury villas and farmhouses. These invite-only gatherings attract high-net-worth individuals who pay entry fees running into lakhs of rupees. Law enforcement recently uncovered one such operation in Jaipur, leading to multiple arrests and exposing a broader network spanning several cities. The model combines exclusivity, entertainment, and secrecy, often evading detection through strategic scheduling and private venues.
