Indiana’s land-based casinos reported a solid financial performance in August, with a 9.9% year-on-year increase in adjusted gross revenue (AGR) to nearly $200.2 million. Slot games brought in $177.5 million while table games generated $37.5 million. Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana led the way with $36.6 million in AGR, followed by Horseshoe Indianapolis and Caesars Southern Indiana.
The state’s sports betting market also saw growth, with a 36.3% increase in AGR from $23.5 million to almost $32.1 million. Ameristar Casino, Blue Chip Casino, and Belterra Casino were the top three in terms of sports wagering handle, driven largely by their respective online sportsbooks.
Indiana’s gaming landscape has evolved since the passing of the Indiana Riverboat Gaming Act in 1993, with the state’s casinos now serving metropolitan areas in three states. While Indiana does not yet have online casinos, it offers online sports betting, which was officially launched in October 2019.
Despite the lack of online casino options, Indiana has seen continued success in its land-based and sports betting markets. With consistently strong financial performances and a diverse range of gaming options available, Indiana’s gaming industry remains a vibrant and growing sector in the state’s economy.
