Indiana Grand set to open sports betting this weekend

Indiana Grand is among the three Indiana casinos that will open sports betting on September 1, the first day sports betting becomes legal in the state.

 

Indiana Grand, Ameristar and Hollywood are all authorized to go live Sept. 1," said Sara Tait, executive director of the Indiana Gaming Commission. "And then Horshoe Hammond is authorized on the fourth of September and French Lick is authorized September 6."

 

Tait anticipates that all other casinos will have their launch dates approved soon, and that the hang-ups are only minor.

 

College betting has been limited to Division 1 sports.  In-play player prop bets for college athletes have been prohibited.  Betting will be available from IndyCar to professional darts.  The list is also on the Gaming Commission website, with it being described as "living", meaning it can change, as long as the sports meet the requirements of the Commission.
