Three more counties would get a chance at landing a new Indiana casino under changes made to a bill moving in the Legislature.
Revisions adopted Thursday to House Bill 1038 added northeastern Indiana’s DeKalb and Steuben counties and Wayne County in eastern Indiana as casino contenders with Fort Wayne’s Allen County.
The original version had Allen County as the sole possible location for transfer of the casino license from the Ohio River city of Rising Sun.
The revised proposal would require the company building the new casino to spend at least $500 million on the project within five years of the doors opening to gamblers.
