The Indiana Gaming Commission ordered the state’s casinos to close, effective Monday morning at 6 a.m.
That’s in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The closure begins Monday and runs for at least two weeks, though Gov. Eric Holcomb urged people last Thursday to halt gatherings of more than 250 people. It applies to all gaming and horse-racing operations, which includes off-track betting sites.

The commission’s order does not apply to the Four Winds Casino in South Bend, which is operated by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. That casino says it will close its buffet, eliminate live entertainment and reduce seats at slots, table games and bars.
