More than 1,900 high-tech slot machines and upscale delicacies from Café Live by Wolfgang Puck await gamers inside Indiana Live Casino's pavilion, a 70,000-square-foot pavilion that may be staffed 350 employees.
"This has been an exciting process for everyone involved," said Mark Hemmerle, general manager of Indiana Live Casino. "We are elated that this day has finally arrived and that we have gained approval from the
Indiana Gaming
Commission to welcome everyone throughout central Indiana and beyond to experience the latest, greatest and most exciting Vegas-style casino Indiana has to offer."
The casino completed a comprehensive gaming commission auditing process that scrutinized operations and ensured internal policies and procedures met state-enforced industry regulations before receiving regulatory approval this week.
"Indiana Live Casino's reality has been a day-and-night effort between East Coast and Midwest teams dedicated to a mutual business venture, the rules and regulations of the state's industry regulators and the interests of those throughout central Indiana who seek the thrills of challenging gaming, fine dining and excellent nightlife," Hemmerle said.
Six months from now, the facility, billed as a temporary casino, will be replaced by a 233,000-square-foot permanent Indiana Live
Casino
at the Indiana Downs clubhouse. The locale will feature not only the slots and
electronic gaming
devices but also upscale dining and nightlife destinations, including Maker's Mark Steakhouse, NASCAR Sports Grille, Live Market featuring international foods in a fresh-market atmosphere and both the Angels Rock Bar and Mosaic Center Bar.
"All of that -- combined with both live and simulcasting horse racing at Indiana Downs, you just can't ask for more," Hemmerle said.
The casino is located just 20 minutes from downtown Indianapolis off Interstate 74 at Exit 109 in Shelbyville, Indiana Live Casino is central Indiana's newest destination for the best in exciting casino action and entertainment.
Indiana Live Casino is owned by Indiana Downs LLC. The project is being developed and managed by Baltimore, Md.-based developer The Cordish Company. The Cordish Company's Gaming Operations are headed by CEO and partner Dennis Gomes. For more, visit www.indianalivecasino.com.
