I was referring to the Indiana event. MicroBob, is there really that much excitement over the event? Not that I'm disputing you, I just figured that Indiana would be a comparative poker backwater. I didn't even know poker was legal in Indiana (unless it's on a reservation).

Riverboat gambling became legal in Indiana in 1993 and was placed under the authority of a seven man Commission.

Currently there are 10 operating riverboat casinos in Indiana; an eleventh is allowed, by statute, in Orange County but was unsupported by the US Army Corp of Engineers for years. A man made lake will have to be constructed since no body of water exists in the area.

After a 10 year battle, the Indiana General Assembly. ‘authorized the casino’, pending approval from county residents. In a referendum in November 2003, the casino was given the green light by county voters. The Indiana Gaming Commission has awarded the construction contract to developer Donald Trump. The new casino will be located between the towns of French Lick and West Baden Springs with the expectation that it will be completed in 2006.

In 2002, the Indiana General Assembly legalized dockside gaming and eliminated the need for cruise schedules, thus allowing patrons unrestricted access to the casinos.


The minimum gambling age in Indiana is 21.
