Indiana law authorizes ten land-based or riverboat casinos on Lake Michigan and the Ohio River, one land-based casino in French Lick, and racinos at the state's two horse tracks. In addition, there is one Indian casino in the state. Other forms of legal gambling are the Hoosier Lottery, parimutuel wagering on horse races, and sports betting. Lottery The Indiana Constitution of 1851 included a ban on lotteries, which was broadly construed by courts as a prohibition on gambling in general. In 1988, state voters approved a constitutional amendment lifting the lottery ban, establishing the Hoosier Lottery. The Hoosier Lottery sells scratch-off tickets since October 1989. It is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association since 1990. and co-founder of Powerball in 1992. It joined Mega Millions in 2010 and Cash4Life in 2016. Other draw games include Hoosier Lotto, Cash 5, and Poker Lotto. Horse racing Pari-mutuel betting was legalized in 1989. Harrah's Hoosier Park opened in Anderson in 1994, and off-track betting parlors opened in the state in 1995. Indiana Downs (now Horseshoe Indianapolis) opened in Shelbyville in 2002. Hoosier Park became a racino on 2008 and Indiana Downs did the same in 2009.

Within months of the amendment's passage, Gary mayor Thomas Barnes proposed opening up the economically depressed city to high-rise resort casinos. The Indiana General Assembly rejected a Gary casino bill in 1989, but did assent to a non-binding referendum, which city voters approved by 60 percent. The city began talks to acquire 350 acres of land at the Gary Works for as many as five casinos. Gaming companies from Nevada and Atlantic City flocked to join in lobbying efforts to support a second attempt in the 1990 legislative session, but it was blocked by Senate Republican leaders. In the 1991 session, state Rep. Charlie Brown of Gary introduced an expanded bill authorizing riverboat casinos on the Ohio River and a casino in the resort area of French Lick and West Baden Springs, to attract broader support. The mayor of Hammond floated the idea of converting the SS Clipper into a casino, but it was not included in the bill. The proposal passed the House but was rejected by a Senate committee. Brown introduced a Gary casino bill in the 1992 session,
