Indiana’s gaming industry posted a strong performance in June 2025, with the Indiana Gaming Commission reporting a total of $67.2 million in combined wagering and supplemental taxes. The revenue was generated across the state’s 14 licensed casinos, with standout contributions from major properties such as Horseshoe Hammond and Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana. Horseshoe Hammond contributed $7.7 million in taxes, while Hard Rock followed closely behind at $7.1 million.
This rebound follows a softer period in previous years. Compared to August 2023, which experienced a 6% decline in gaming revenue year-over-year, June’s figures indicate renewed strength in Indiana’s gaming market.
Hard Rock, Caesars, and Horseshoe Lead Casino Contributions
Among the state’s casinos, Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana remained a dominant force in adjusted gross receipts (AGR), reporting over $30 million in wagering tax revenue. Caesars Southern Indiana and Horseshoe Indianapolis also delivered notable results, generating $18.9 million and $26.6 million in total taxes, respectively.
It’s worth noting that Hard Rock Northern Indiana is currently subject to specific tax provisions that are in effect through June 30, 2025. These unique provisions influence the casino’s reporting structure and allowable deductions.
Year-to-Date Collections Cross $671 Million
Cumulative tax revenue for Indiana’s gaming sector has surpassed $671.3 million as of June 2025. Once again, Hard Rock Northern Indiana emerged as the leader, having contributed $84.6 million so far this year. Caesars Southern Indiana and Horseshoe Indianapolis trailed closely, though both maintained significant levels of tax contributions.
Table Game Trends and Statewide Activity
Across the state, Indiana hosts a total of 601 table games, with favorites such as blackjack and baccarat drawing significant participation. In terms of table game wins, Hard Rock Northern Indiana topped the chart with $7.18 million, while Horseshoe Hammond took second place with $4.73 million.
The tax calculations reflect various components, including wagering tax, supplemental tax, and sports wagering tax. These figures are further influenced by allowable deductions, adjustments for free play, and other gaming-related activities, all of which contribute to the final taxable AGR.
Sports Betting Revenue Surges Nearly 50% Year-on-Year
Sports betting has also seen a substantial lift in Indiana. The latest data shows that taxable adjusted gross revenue for sports wagering in June reached $45.3 million—marking a 48.7% increase compared to the $30.5 million recorded in June 2024.
The total handle rose nearly 20%, climbing from $298.2 million to $351.5 million. Tax revenue from sports betting mirrored these gains, increasing by 47.8%, moving from $2.9 million last June to $4.3 million in June 2025.
Though month-over-month handle declined by 18.9% from May’s $433.3 million, both revenue and tax collections still experienced a modest bump. Revenue rose by 3.6% from $43.8 million in May, while tax income nudged up 3.6% from $4.2 million.
DraftKings led Indiana’s online sports betting market during the month, generating $16.1 million in revenue. FanDuel was close behind, pulling in $15.5 million.
Indiana’s June 2025 gaming tax figures reflect broad-based growth across both traditional casino gaming and digital sports betting. The consistent year-to-date performance and rising contributions from key operators point toward a solid year for the state’s gaming industry.
