Online casino revenue would pass $100M a month in Indiana
While Indiana enjoyed a solid boost in revenue in August, that boost could’ve been considerably bigger if the state had legal online casinos.
However, an attempt by lawmakers to pass an IN iGaming bill failed in 2023 after an analysis came out saying that iGaming would be a disaster for the state’s land-based casinos.
Though follow-up studies on Indiana online casinos showed the initial analysis was incorrect, the damage had been done. Lawmakers have yet to make a concerted effort to return to an iGaming bill.
In the meantime, casino operators are losing over $100 million in revenue. The state is losing out on tens of millions in tax revenue.
