The state Gaming Commission says casinos can open to the public at reduced capacity beginning June 15.

Indiana is officially getting a new casino in Terre Haute. The state Gaming Commission approved the facility Friday, set to open in September 2021.

The Indiana Gaming Commission ordered the state's casinos to close, effective Monday morning at 6 a.m., in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Indiana Gaming Commission said Friday it was investigating information it received Thursday about Indianapolis-based Spectacle Entertainment.

Last year's sports gaming bill also allowed bets on "other events," if they have a verifiable outcome that is generated through an independent, reliable process and can't be influenced by wagers.

Indiana lawmakers likely are not done tweaking the state's gambling rules, even after last year's changes to the industry.

The racinos long asked the legislature to allow them to have live dealers for their table games, arguing they were more appealing to players than electronic games.

Indianapolis-based Spectacle Entertainment was the only company submitting an application for the Terre Haute casino license by the deadline set by the Indiana Gaming Commission.

Data released Thursday by the Indiana Gaming Commission shows football was the most popular sport with $20.7 million in bets, or 60% of the wagers.

Online sports wagering is "geo-fenced" in Indiana, meaning people must be within state lines to place their bets.
