Indiana casinos operate in 13 locations. One of the casinos is an Indian gaming casino regulated by the U.S. National Indian Gaming Commission. The other twelve casinos are state-licensed and regulated by the Indiana Gaming Commission. Two of the state-licensed casinos are at horse racetracks, aka racinos.
A new gaming law effective July 1, 2019 legalized sports betting at casinos and mobile devices, allows live-dealer table games at racetracks, and authorizes construction of two new casinos, one in Gary and the other in Terre Haute.
Indiana has three casinos owned by Native American tribes. One is an Indian gaming casino and the other two are commercial casinos.
Four Winds Casino South Bend
Four Winds Casino is owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. This casino in South Bend is an Indian gaming casino regulated by the federal government. In August 2021 the Four Winds Casino began a revenue sharing compact with the state that allows for Class III games, such as Vegas-style slots and table games.
Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana
Hard Casino in Gary is 85% owned by Hard Rock International, an enterprise of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Hard Rock is a state-licensed, commercial casino rather than a federally regulated Indian gaming casino.
Caesars Southern Indiana
Caesars Entertainment sold this casino to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in 2021. The tribe retained the Caesars branding and operates the casino under state license rather than the U.S. Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed legislation authorizes sports betting including online gambling, liv-dealer table games at racetracks and construction of new casinos in Gary and Terre Haute.
Indiana is the ninth state to allow sports betting and the third this year. The first sports betting could start as soon as September 1. Minimum betting age is 21. Mobile devices that register with an state-licensed casino can place online bets.
Live-dealer table games will now be allowed at Harrah's Hoosier Park northeast of Indianapolis and Indiana Grand Racing & Casino in Shelbyville beginning Jan. 1, 2020.
The law allows Spectacle Entertainment, which owns two casino licenses in Gary, to replace the Majestic Star Casino on Lake Michigan with a $300 million casino along the Interstate 80/94 corridor in Gary. The second license would be returned to the state and issued for construction of a new casino in Terre Haute.
