Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana recorded more “win,” or revenue after paying successful bettors, than any of its 12 Indiana competitors in July for a 57th consecutive month — or nearly five full years.

Data released by the Indiana Gaming Commission Wednesday show Hard Rock tallied $36.7 million in win last month — a 1.6% decrease compared to its July 2025 win of $37.3 million.

Nevertheless, the Gary gaming, dining and entertainment destination still single-handedly accounted for more than 17% of the state’s $214.3 million in total casino win for the seventh month of 2026, a 2.6% growth in statewide win compared to $208.9 million for July 2025.

IGC data show Hard Rock’s state-leading slot machine play totaled $281.5 million in July, with a state-best win of $28.2 million.
