Future efforts to legalize Indiana online casino will take place without its biggest champion. Indiana Sen. Jon Ford announced this month that he is resigning from the state legislature effective Oct. 16.
Ford spoke with PlayUSA about his lasting impact in modernizing gaming in Indiana and the chances for online casino legislation passing next year in the state without his support.
If not for Ford, Indiana residents might have to go into a casino to place sports bets.
In 2019, the House removed online sports betting from the legislation before passing the bill. As the Senate sponsor for sports betting, Ford led the charge to add the online aspect back into the bill in conference committee.
