There has recently been a change in management at the Deltin Royale Poker Room. After being at the helm of poker operations at the Deltin Royale Poker Room (now called Deltin Royale Poker Lounge) for a little over one year, Amin Rozani has decided to pass on the baton to his younger brother Vasim Rozani.

It was in November 2014 that Sameer Rattonsey and Rajeev Kanjani joined hands with Amin Rozani to take over the management at Deltin Royale Poker Room, which is now called the Deltin Royale Poker Lounge. While Rattonsey and Kanjani were managing the marketing of the poker room from Mumbai, Rozani shifted base to Goa to manage the day-to-day operations of the poker room.

Rozani played an active role in resurrecting poker back to its former glory, ushering in a new wave of growth for the game, along with his partners Rattonsey and Kanjani in a state, which attracts thousands of tourists every year. The trio went on to re-establish the lost tournament poker scene in India with the return of the India Poker Championship at Deltin Royale Poker Room. The year 2015 brought a spate of IPC tournaments in Goa which was a welcome relief for players! The Indian poker community welcomed the IPC with both hands as was seen with an overwhelming response in its tournaments.

Rozani will now join Rattonsey and Kanjani in managing the marketing of the poker room and the IPC series centrally from Mumbai. In a formal statement to PokerGuru, Rozani the former head of poker operations at Deltin Royale Poker Lounge announced this change at the top and added that he intends to move into a broader role. However, he will still be actively involved in the operations of the poker room. “It’s time for me to move a bit away from venue-based marketing to awider community-focused marketing goal. I intend to do my part in popularizing the sport across the country and will meet with as many organizers, operators and players in order to get everyone on board,”Amin said.

He added, “There needs to be an alignment of the common vision of growing this industry of ours.”

Vasim thus will have a job cut out for him. However, going by his background he is likely to add value to his new role. Vasim has seen it all while working closely with his older brother for a number of years now. Being a high stakes player himself, Vasim has plenty of experience to fall back on as he had managed the operations at their local setups and most recently assisted the cash game operations during events like cash game festivals or the IPC.

I knew Amin was looking to focus on a broader role in the operationand I decided to step up and suggest myself for managing the dailyoperations. Amin and Rajeev were comfortable about me taking on this role so here I am,” he said about this change.

Vasim will be based in Goa now managing the daily operations in conjunction with the poker room staff and he is clear on what he wants to immediately focus on, “I want Goa and by extension Deltin Royale to be the number 1 destination for the entire country’s poker action. Aside from that broad goal, I am looking to pay closer attention to developing the high stakes action on a more regular basis in Goa,” said Vasim on his ambitious plans.
