Find Your Favourite Indiana Casino Resorts 2026

Indiana is known as the ‘Crossroads of America’ due to its location and large transportation network to other part of the US. It also has a proud sporting culture as host state of the Indianapolis 500,

When it comes to casinos, its fair to say that state authorities were a little reluctant to allow casinos within Indiana at first. After several bills died at the senate over many years, finally a breakthrough came in 1995 allowing riverboat casinos and then land-based casinos became legalized in 2015.

What that means is that Indiana today has a mix of riverboat, commercial and tribal casinos for players to enjoy.
