Industry Overview
Indiana Riverboat Gaming Act: This law, effective July 1, 1993, was passed
to spur job growth and development in "economically depressed areas of
Indiana" and to "provide for significant economic development over a large
geographic area."
Residents living in all Indiana counties that border Ohio and Lake
Michigan were offered the opportunity to pass a referendum allowing
casino gaming in their county. Since that time, the Indiana
Gaming Commission has approved licenses to develop 13 casinos.
