Some time casino himself act as one of the player, then how to calculate value of supply.
Dear Ajay ji, If the casino wants to participate in a game, it will have to deposit money to become a participant, which will be added to the total amount at stake. Therefore, logically speaking, the casino will also be treated as a player, and the initial amount deposited by the casino should form part of the value of taxable supply. The answer above is based on your question. The answer could be different based on the business model, transaction involved, etc."
