One Senate gaming bill would allow Gary to move its existing casino off the waterfront, and allow an unused license in the city to go to Terre Haute. But another bill says the other license could move anywhere in the state, as chosen by the Indiana Gaming Commission.

Lawmakers say Caesars' pending purchase of Indiana’s two racetrack casinos shouldn’t change much in the legislature when it comes to the gaming industry.
