A bill authored by State Sen. Andy Zay (RHuntington) that would study regions in Indiana that could benefit most from a casino passed the Senate today with bipartisan support.
Senate Enrolled Act 43 would require the Indiana Gaming Commission to conduct an independent study with the goal of identifying the top two regions in the state where a casino license could be relocated. The commission would then need to submit the findings of the study to the State Budget Committee by Nov. 1, 2025.
“Indiana’s casino market is oversaturated in the southeast region of our state. With so many casinos competing for business, they cannot all be successful,” Zay said. “I believe allowing a casino to relocate to the northeast region of Indiana would provide a solution. This would allow for huge economic boosts and infrastructure development in the community.”
