A bipartisan pair of Indianapolis senators advocated for a downtown Indianapolis casino on the Senate floor Tuesday, despite years of pushback to the idea from some industry giants.
Senate Bill 43, which the Senate passed by a 33-16 vote on Tuesday, simply requires the Indiana Gaming Commission to study where the top three regions in the state would be to place a casino, but some lawmakers’ public support of an Indianapolis-based facility could signal an Indy location is possible in the distant future. Lawmakers have to approve the relocation of gaming licenses and new casinos.
