INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Mike Pence has refined his stance on a gambling bill moving through the Indiana General Assembly – now saying he has concerns that it would expand gaming in the state.
“We’re making it known to legislators that while I have no objection to finding ways to permit these Indiana businesses to be more competitive financially, I do not support an expansion of gaming,” he said.
Pence elaborated that he thinks authorizing live table games at the racinos – rather than electronic versions – as well as allowing existing riverboat casinos to move inland on the current property footprint, would be expansions.
