Indiana Casinos

In June 1993 Indiana became the sixth state to legalize riverboat gambling. All of the state’s riverboat casinos offer dockside gambling and, unless otherwise noted, are open 24 hours. The minimum gambling age is 21.

Following is information from the Indiana Gaming Commission regarding average slot payout percentages for the one-year period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011:

CASINO	PAYBACK %
Hoosier Park	91.98
Indiana Live!	91.75
Grand Victoria	91.71
Blue Chip	91.62
French Lick	91.54
Belterra	91.40
Hollywood Lawrenceburg	91.16
Horseshoe Southern Indiana	90.51
Casino Aztar	90.48
Majestic Star	90.38
Majestic Star II	90.38
Ameristar	90.19
Horseshoe Hammond	90.04

These figures reflect the average percentage returned by each casino for all of their electronic machines including slot machines, video poker, video keno, etc.

Unless otherwise noted, all casinos offer: blackjack, craps, roulette, slots, video poker, video keno and Caribbean stud poker. Optional games include: baccarat (B), mini-baccarat (MB), poker (P), pai gow poker (PGP), three card poker (TCP), four card poker (FCP), Spanish 21 (S21), big 6 wheel (B6) and let it ride (LIR).

If you want to order a drink while playing, be aware that Indiana gaming regulations do not allow casinos to provide free alcoholic beverages.

NOTE: If you happen to win a jackpot of $1,200 or more in Indiana, the casino will withhold 3.4% of your winnings for the Indiana Department of Revenue. You may, however, be able to get some of that money refunded by filing a state income tax return. The $1,200 threshold also applies to any cash prizes won in casino drawings or tournaments.

For more information on visiting Indiana call (800) 289-6646, or visit their web site at www.enjoyindiana.com

Pari Mutuels

In April 2007, the Indiana state legislature authorized the state’s two horse tracks to have up to 2,000 electronic gaming machines.

Both casinos are open 24 hours and the minimum gambling age is 21. The minimum age for pari-mutuel betting is 18.
