Northwest Indiana s four gaming destinations in Hammond, East Chicago, Gary and Michigan City are getting closer toward having to compete with a Chicago casino.
A sweet song continued playing at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana in April even as the three other casinos in Lake and LaPorte counties saw their earnings dip last month.
The parent company of East Chicago s Ameristar Casino has received approval from the Illinois Gaming Board to relocate its two suburban Chicago casinos.
Altogether, the South Bend casino features 1,900 slot machines on its new gaming floor, compared to 1,704 slots at the Horseshoe, and 1,648 at Hard Rock.
