Voters in Allen, DeKalb, and Steuben counties in northeast Indiana cast ballots Tuesday on whether to allow a casino development requiring a minimum $500 million investment, under terms set by House Enrolled Act 1038 passed earlier in 2026.
A yes vote across the three counties would open a competition for a single inland casino license. Developers would have until December 1 to file applications with the Indiana Gaming Commission, which must issue decisions by April 15, 2027. The winning developer must commit $500 million across casino and non-gambling facilities, with 60 percent of that investment completed within two years of license authorization.
The measure eliminates an unused racino license that had sat dormant under prior state law.
