A gambling bill that would allow table games such as blackjack at racetracks near Indianapolis received unanimous support from an Indiana state Senate committee during a hearing Wednesday. The Public Policy Committee voted 9-0 in favor of the bill, which would also reduce taxes in all Indiana casinos and allow riverboat casinos to move onto land adjacent to their docks.
Casino representatives testified that the bill would help them compete with new competition from Ohio, where three new casinos have opened and a fourth is scheduled to open in March in Cincinnati. Three Indiana riverboats are located just west of Cincinnati.
