Indiana Casinos Surge Past $200 M In August Revenue, Up 7.2% From July

Indiana casinos are glad the summer is over. Land-based casinos in the Hoosier State generated $200.2 million in August. This past month marks the first time monthly revenue rose since May and the third time this year that casino win surpassed $200 million.

Online casino revenue is not part of Indiana’s revenue report, as iGaming is not legal.

Key takeaways

  • Land-based casino revenue hit $200.2M in August, up 7.2% compared to Indiana casino revenue in July 2024.
  • Casino win surpassed $200 million for the third time this year.
  • iGaming could’ve brought Indiana casino operators more than $116 million in Juy.

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.

Here’s a snapshot of PlayUSA’s projections for Indiana online casino revenue in July based on revenue and population data for the country’s seven legal online casino markets:
