New legislation in Indiana would more quickly establish live-dealer table games at the state’s racinos.
On Jan. 24, House Bill 1483 was introduced and referred to a committee. The brief three-page proposal was authored by Rep. Sean Eberhart, a Republican, and co-authored by Rep. Terri Jo Austin, a Democrat.
Should the bill become law, a racino licensee would be allowed to submit a plan, between June 30, 2019 and Oct. 1, 2019, to the Indiana Gaming Commission for non-electronic table games. The commission would have 45 days to review a proposal after it’s submitted, which means the games would kick off this year.
