Officials at Caesars Southern Indiana decided to close Thursday morning because of flooding in the region.
Flooding does not present a problem at the Tropicana Evansville, as management there announced slots players will now be able to smoke and drink while playing slots.
Not the First Flood for Caesars
Caesars typically ranks among the state’s top tax revenue generators. However, flooding has been an occasional issue for the casino since it opened more than 20 years ago. In both February 2018 and 2019, the casino, then known as Horseshoe Southern Indiana, was shut down for short periods by flooding.
