The Indiana Gaming Commission is urging a Marion County court to reject a lawsuit challenging new integrity rules for privately owned casino companies filed last month by seven of the 18 known investors in the parent company of the Hard Rock Casino in Gary.
In a court filing, the IGC claims under state law it has a duty to maintain public confidence and trust in the state s gaming industry by strictly regulating and licensing all persons who directly or indirectly control an Indiana casino.
The IGC said its new integrity rules, adopted in March, fulfill that obligation by mandating investors in Spectacle Entertainment submit the detailed financial and background information needed to acquire a Level 1 occupational license, along with requiring the same of any person with an interest in any entity holding a stake in Spectacle.
Shareholders in the parent company of the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana are seeking an immediate halt to new state rules requiring greater disclosure of financial records and business interests.
