Best casinos in Indianapolis: find options near you

Had a quick trip to the casino after a round of golf. Had a 30 minute session playing 3 card poker. Lost $30 quick bite to eat and picked 1 slot machine to play on my way out. Everything was great, clean restrooms, friendly staff. Would go back again but you have to learn how to come and go quickly in my book

I freely admit that I am not really a gambler so I can’t pass judgement on the quality of gaming.

There is a pretty nice free drink service and places to sit down and enjoy your beverage near the Sidewalk Cafe. The SC is, in my opinion, too expensive and not very delicious. Regrettably, the buffet is long gone. It was one of the pleasures of a casino visit.

I find the air conditioner turned up too high but I suspect that it must be done to keep the machines cooled.

The background music is pretty good but at times, a bit too loud for my tastes.

Finally, the staff is calm and professional but not all that cordial.

Pro Tip
The grounds and racetrack area are great for a nice stroll. For dining, you might consider the nearby McDonald’s for a cheap meal or go into Shelbyville to try out the outstanding Cow Palace.

My first time going & it was fun. I came on a Tuesday but I still won $3K & spent $500. I guess that’s a win. On a Tuesday night the employees and the people that met. They were very nice even though it’s a smoking area. I’m not a fan of that. But the place does look nice and I’m definitely wanting to come back but on the weekends.

The casino is easy to find, right off the main road. It seems really big from the outside. Theres table games, slot machines, high limit room, few places inside to eat, a self serve soft drink/coffee station, a cashier booth and players card booth. If course bars to. Only a few ticket casher machines. There was quite a few machines that were down, off, or not working. Just like most casinos (especially the ones owned by Caesars) not alot of wins or free spins and I bounced around and played many different ones. Plenty of outside parking and garage parking that was very full. Overall it’s not bad nor great just somewhere to go and press your luck. Oh, the bar drinks are pricey a jack n coke is $9.00

Hidden racing gem of the Midwest!
I just went to the racetrack. The venue is well kept, clean and comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly. Everything is easy to get to. Race card was good. Burglar was amazing! If you are looking for a fun, casual and comfortable day at the races, this is the track for you.

The staff was very friendly.
Loved witching the races.
Outside seating for the Indiana Derby was not readily available.
Bring your own seating.

First time visiting this casino. We were a little worried after reading some reviews but were pleasantly surprised. We didn’t smell smoke. Everything was clean. Machines were all working, and we did really well here. We will definitely come back again. Easy entrance on/off the expressway also. Plenty of machines to chose from also.

Mammas and Mias

Overall not a bad experience, but it’s obvious this is not a favored location by the ownership group. We were in the Blue Chip Tower which is the older building and not specified when booking. The hallways, doors, and stairways definitely need updating. Our room was fine, the bathroom seemed newly updated and had a great shower. No microwave, but we do have a fridge, safe, and coffee maker. The pool area could use some updates, and the hot tub was unusable it was so hot unfortunately. The large pool temperature was nice though. Our neighbor’s TV may as well be in our room it’s so loud through the thin walls. The AC is also loud, but easy to adjust on the wall. The best part of staying at the casino is entertainment for the end of the night and location. Less than 15 minutes to all sorts of chain shopping and restaurants in Michigan City and walking distance to local restaurants and a decent sized outlet mall. Less than a half hour drive to the dunes. The price is a little high for what we got, but overall our stay was fine.

A huge thank you to CJ and her entire staff for doing such an amazing job for my daughter’s wedding this past weekend! Every detail was handled beautifully, and the whole event went off without a single glitch. The team was incredibly helpful, professional, and made the day stress-free for our family.

Although we did not personally stay at the hotel, our guests shared how comfortable the rooms and beds were—which made the celebration even more enjoyable for them.

We are so grateful for all your hard work and support in making this such a special and memorable day. Thanks again for everything!

Strange place overall, stayed here recently for a wedding. Booked the spa tower and the room itself was very nice and the bathroom was quite impressive (love a shower bench). However, major gripe is $12.99 daily resort fee, which provides access the 1 of the gyms, the indoor pool, 2 very small water bottles, and access to the room safe (which has been included as standard in every hotel I have been at). The included gym was absolutely ridiculous, it has to be the worst hotel gym I have seen. Equipment consisted of 1 very old treadmill, 1 elliptical and a couple of weight machines. Not even free weights! I honestly thought it was a joke, not at all up to standard of a $200+ night rate and one that has a $12.99 resort fee. It is crazy that they charge you an additional $25 feet for use of the nice/normal gym!!! Very insulting and feel 100% ripped off. The pool was also a joke, stained tiles in hot tub and smelled so strongly of chlorine, walked out immediately. Last gripe is the coffee shop. Not sure what is going on but it took 20 min to get coffee with only 1 person in front of me, pure chaos! 100% will not be back and wish i knew I would have access to better amenities at the holiday inn express.

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.

I can’t stress enough how awful our experience was with Blue Chip. For starters, when we booked our 2 night stay, the pictures on the website and the pictures in the kiosk at check in, ARE NOT what we ended up with. Our room looks like we’re at the Motel 6.

They told us they were completely booked and we couldn’t switch rooms. But magically, rooms started opening up after we spoke to the manager.. funny how that happens.

The first 2 rooms they put us in, were FILTHY. Pubic hair all over the toilets, blood on the toilet seat, stains on the bed sheets. Refused to give us a refund or put us in a nicer room. Didn’t even offer to upgrade us to a better room if we paid the difference. After we were put in a 3rd room, we had to request new pillow cases because there was stuff all over them.

They ended up offering us a $150 refund the first night and said we would have to leave if we took it. So I’m not sure what they thought $150 was going to do. We were forced to stay here because of what we had already spent on this room.

The hallways and elevators smell like wet dogs and cigarette smoke. Pool was closed the entire stay.

Lastly, be prepared to be looked down on, if you plan on walking into this hellhole with a T-shirt or jean shorts on. I can’t even begin to explain how uncomfortable I felt walking around this place. My husband and I ended up only staying in our room while here. We did not feel comfortable eating or going to the casino. I wouldn’t recommend this place to ANYONE.

Everything about my Blue Chip Casino, Hotel and Spa reservation this past weekend was perfect besides the cleanliness of the room. The room looked clean until we opened the fridge and found a half gallon of orange juice from the previous guests left in there. It is unsettling knowing that the room is not fully checked and cleaned for the next guests. I expect this kind of service from a $50/night motel but not a $200+/night Blue Chip Casino Hotel and Spa.

Such a great little getaway for me and my husband, however this past time I wasn’t super thrilled. An emergency alarm that was later deemed as an accident(?) woke us up twice. And the vending machine on our floor was completely off, so after descending two flights I found one that worked, but the machine would accept payment and then not dispense, then when ran again would only dispense one item, instead of the two it should have been.

Nice casino right on the water. Fairly modern and updated. Good variety of games, both tables and slots. Kept moderately clean. The complementary soda fountains were a little gross, I did not use them. Restrooms were kept okay. Not in the greatest part of town.

Nice casino with a non smoking area, However they no longer have a buffet. They still offer a variety of restaurants. I went to the Venue to see Leela James. The venue is nice great seats. The concert was good.

I wish it was non smoking. That was horrible in there. We went to watch Theresa Caputo. That area was smoke free at least. Great seats!

The venue has amazing crew who are top of their responsibilities! Food was great and had a great show!

I ended up going to this casino for a concert that was taking place within The Venue upstairs. It was an amazing experience! I went to go see Lauren Alaina perform.

I had no idea what a Saturday night at the Horseshoe could be!!! The Venue was very nice and I felt like I was right on the stage with the band. Sound quality top notch, seating on the first set of risers excellent .
Now let’s talk about the staff, extremely helpful and 90% said hello or have a good night, well maybe 95%, I was too happy and excited to count. They all smiled and looked at me as a person not just another customer.
I can’t wait to go back to eat, drink, gamble and be Merry!!!!
Thank you all for a well deserved night of fun for this nurse in The Region, born and raised!!!!!!

And you can see Chicago from the free parking garage. By the way my favorite city!!!!

As far as casinos go it’s good if you like to gamble and eat. If I’m in the area I definitely like to stop. A lot going on. Clean and great atmosphere. But hard rock is my go to if I wanna see a band and have a good time without gambling.

Let me tell you about my experience at Caesars Resort Southern Indiana. I am here for a state wide County Treasurer’s conference. If you are out this way and you feel like gambling then perhaps its no different than any other casino. But if you are looking for a room to stay here … keep driving. The hotel staff at front desk were not very courteous during check in and we equally jerks when I checked out. This hotel is 10 stories high. It has no Concierge. No bell boys. I saw older people pulling luggage carts themselves. The pool is closed. And there is no maid service. You want to clean up do it yourself. You want fresh towels or toiletries .. you have to call them and you make your own bed. Pretty lame for a so called 5 star resort. They have 3 restaurants but the first night 2 were closed. They have a Gordon Ramsey restaurant which but I’ve had much better meals at region restaurants. The ladies in charge of the conference did a wonderful job accommodating and entertaining a few hundred people. It’s too bad the hotel didn’t feel the same way. I just checked out. I asked the clerk when I was done if I needed anything else from him. His reply was ” I don’t know” . And he said it with a smirk. Well it was a little before 7am so I just gave him a look and left. Needless to say I’ll drive out of my way before staying here again.

I’ve stayed here 5 times this year – all were complimentary.

The hotel is very dated and is currently getting a makeover. I’m not sure if that includes the rooms or not, but in the current condition the hotel is a mess. It’s also a bit off the beaten path, so if you aren’t local, be aware it’s a few miles out. Not too far, but it’s a slow road. I have not eaten at any of the restaurants but the casino has a good variety of games and it appears to have newer slots. It is a strange set up with the hotel being removed from the casino, but accessible through walking bridge.

All in all, it’s worth a visit if you are in the area. However, unless it drastically changes, I don’t feel like it rates higher than average (3 *). If I had not received the rooms comp’d, I wouldn’t have stayed again. Not that the facility is that bad, but for my needs it’s a bit out of the way.

Dog poop in floor of our room. Stepped in it. Front Desk a tad bit rude. Drinks $10 for 6 oz of ice and ends up being two sips after waiting in a long line. No beverage waitresses. No valet. No bellhop. Skunk Weed in the halls all weekend. No one ever does a thing about it. Poker room manager told someone if they didn’t like his changes then get out. Even the dealers are complaining about how that room is run now. There will be a nice high no limit game going and they will come say you are low limit now. Hey how about opening up more tables and giving your dealers a chance to make decent tips instead of catering to street bums. They just don’t care anymore about customers. Room service no longer allowed to bring ice with your drinks. Casino floor was dirty and people were pulling chairs to sit with others leaving some machines with no chairs to sit. Seen only one $1300 jackpot. Room service is very limited hours. Overall the place sucks.

No free drinks while gambling is a terrible business model. Especially when you only open one bar and the line is halfway down the casino floor. Security took my miller lites also, if you like being sober this is the place for you.

Honestly the staff was good at the front desk. If you are booking for a weekend you better go out for breakfast instead of getting the non complimentary breakfast here. Room service can’t bring breakfast to your room on the weekends. You can not go down to the breakfast grab a sausage biscuit and bring it back to your room on the weekends, not allowed. The place absolutely stinks with mildew smell and weed. Stayed on the 7th floor, the room had mold spots and showed staff/front desk this. The room had water coming from the wall and woke up with a soaked pillow, again showed staff this. If you touched the ceiling water would pour from the wall, again showed staff video of this. All I received was a “thanks for letting us know.” With my experience being what it is I would not recommend staying here at all as I will not stay at this location again. Stay closer to town for a better experience. This location should be shut down and completely redone.

Went for a concert. All employees that I interacted with were really helpful and nice. The concert venue was nice and the sound was good. The only negative was standing in line to get into the music venue I had people standing right next to me smoking. Someone said it was a no smoking are they were in, but they were smoking there regardless. They could have had people enter through the end rather than the side and they would not be standing on the casino floor with the smoke. I have asthma and am allergic to cigarette smoke so it was a problem for me the rest of the night. Other than that I would be really happy to go back. The food at The Grill was good too. I did not rent a room.

Visited one night on the way to Fort Wayne.

The rooms were comfy and clean.

The casino was something new to me as I had never been on a riverboat type before. It was fun but took a bit to get used to.

For a short stay, it was good to rest and be able to get back to on the road.

The restaurant was good and filling. It was free since it was comped. Both my stay and food were… no complaints here.

This is the second year I’ve had this company out for a Casino Night at my campground, and I always get the best compliments from my guests. The dealers are fun and keep everyone playing. The office is great at communicating details and the prices are reasonable. I will keep booking these guys until my event coordinating days are over!

We had an amazing evening with the Casino Party Experts at the FTR Transportation Conference!

Donna was cracking us up and teaching the table the basics of the game.

Thanks for a great evening and helping bring our event to life.

Highly recommend!

Great night at the Grand Design Rally! All the tables were fun. One stood out among them all. Jeff D was awesome! His interaction with the players was great. Everyone had a great time and stayed the whole evening!

Had a great time. Donna made it fun to draw a 14 five straight hands. I can’t wait to get something higher than a 19. But it’s a blast anyway.

Our company host an annual customer appreciation night, and the past three years Casino Party Experts has been the “go to” for the entertainment that we provide. They are very attentive to detail, and the dealers are extremely helpful to all, whether they are experienced casino goers or those who have never had any casino type opportunities. Our customers thoroughly enjoyed themselves! The evening was a huge success!!!

I had a fantastic time with my dealer. Donna was professional and knowledgeable. She made the evening so fun! I am not a gambler, but I really enjoyed the evening.

Donna did a fantastic job! 10/10 great night. She kept the table fun and took care of us well. Very funny and lots of jokes.

Felicia is the absolute best! She made our evening fun and memorable! Highly highly highly recommend!

Donna and Storme from Greenfield were so helpful and fun at our Casino party. We will do this again!

Donna & BlackJack was a blast! Such an awesome idea for a wedding reception! So fun!

Donna was fantastic and lots of fun. Had a great time.

Great time! Donna was great!

Donna was awesome. She was very patient explaining blackjack to beginners

Donna did a great job, lots of fun!

This is the first time leaving a review in the middle of a stay. My husband and I checked in yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We don’t usually celebrate it, but had a very challenging and hard summer so we found this gem to check out. The hotel is very old timing and charming. One down side to it, you can hear everything !! We are on the back side of the building and you can hear a simple conversation from under the pavilion. The room itself is very clean and cozy. Our cleaners name is Rachel and you can tell she takes pride in her work. As far as the casino goes… we are losing our butts but are having a blast. You can smoke in the casino (we are not smokers) but the ventilation is very good and you hardly notice it. One complaint. When getting food, people in line will light cigarette after cigarette which is gross. Smoking should be prohibited in line for food / where meals are being made. We have one more night and hopefully our luck will change . Will definitely be back

Hotel rooms are complete shit. If you like sticky floors and smells this is the place for you. I cannot believe these rooms are expensive. Motel 6 is a better option

This Casino is top of the line..Plenty of room to move around. Slots that pay….parking is plentiful. For a place that allows smoking, the smell is not overbearing.
Only down side today was the coffee machine was not operating.

The pillow were quite large, room was clean, but maybe a little dated. Classy though. Casinonit self is an enclosed walkway away. The slots were decent paying music was good. Didn’t win but didn’t lose a bunch either. Was fun.

Spent the evening at Hollywood with the family. We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves! It was clean and everyone was very friendly. Staff were knowledgeable and very informative. Parking was easy and the food was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Although we have never stayed at Hollywood hotel, we love visiting the casino. Slot machines and tables. It always seems some part is under renovation but does not seem to be a problem with having a good time. But remember play responsibly.

We came here for a weekend visit and a little gambling and fine dining. The room was very clean and smelled fresh. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The shower had great pressure and very hot water as hot as I could stand it. That is a bonus most hotels we go to has very little water pressure and usually the water is cold. They have a new electronic sign in with your app and door lock with your phone. That is a great touch. I did not have to go to the front desk to check in or check out. Would highly recommend someone for a weekend getaway.

Great goulf

I stayed at Belterra Casino Resort for work, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself was fantastic. I accidentally booked a smoking room, but when I asked to switch, they upgraded me to a massive non-smoking room with both a shower and a jacuzzi tub — such a great surprise!

The room was spotless, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a long day. The restaurants were excellent, and the drinks were strong and flavorful (definitely not watered down). I wish I had taken pictures to share because everything exceeded expectations.

Highly recommend staying here — I’ll definitely be back!

It was a really nice stay. I love how you enlarged the casino. It’s such a good time. I wish the tablets could work inside the rooms a lot better or maybe the internet could be a lot faster or something. But anyways if that’s right there was like a big computer for check in and check out for the restaurant. You need some more food stuff around the building. I would also say that it was quick before we stayed which was nice. You guys have more stuff to do since the locks are nearby

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW RIGHT HERE!
CASINO – one of the tightest I’ve ever been to be prepared to lose money! Very small there’s two floors but the downstairs is where all the old machines go to die very depressing upstairs is small but has modern machines however they don’t even let you feel like you’re winning. This is obvious by the recent winners scroll on the TVs they’re all 1K, 2K winners no big winners….
ROOMS – rooms are nice and spacious My shower didn’t work the way it should and out of the four staff that I took with me only one of them had a properly working shower several of them had a smell of sewer gas.
Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – by far the highlight of our trip! Some of the best hotel banquet food I have ever eaten hands down. The pub had excellent food! The steakhouse had excellent food! The servers were fantastic!
HOTEL STAFF – non-existent front desk is nearly never staffed and if it is there’s only one person. There is no coffee You hear me right no hotel coffee outside of the crappy pods in the room. If you want a coffee you have to wait for the coffee shop to open in the morning which has okay coffee and the coffee shop staff was friendly.
It’s located in the middle of nowhere Southern Indiana.
I was here for a conference, The conference rooms were great The food service was great The casino was terrible The hotel staff no bueno, The golf course is supposed to be a big deal I personally didn’t golf but it looks beautiful, there is also a spa on the second floor for massages but the hot tub and sauna was closed for renovation as well as several other parts of the hotel.

I would not recommend anyone taking a personal trip but if you’re there for business it’s not bad

I came here on August 15, 2025 to relax by the pool and have some fun with a friend. We went to the pool for a few hours. When we came back, we changed and went to dinner. While we were gone someone came in our room and stole my jacket. I reported it, but nothing much was done. A security guy came by with a card to scan the lock. He said that would tell him who was in the room besides us. According to his analysis, no one was in the room except up us. I was told that there are no security cameras in the hallways. So, no help there. I brought very few things with me. The jacket wasn’t the only thing that was missing. A few other small were missing as well, but I just bought the jacket and I want it back! I called back a few days later and spoke with a supervisor. He was very nice and the other security guy was too. However, you have a thief that steals from your Guests. My relaxing day turned into a stressful evening because of this thief. Beware of your belongings. You may be better off leaving them in your car if you can.

Great stay at Belterra. They’ve definitely improved on the air quality inside the casino. Friendly dealers and all staff are very helpful. Dinner at Stadium grill was good, plenty of TVs to watch all the football games.

We went up there, the four of us to see a show. We did some gambling and eating. Everything was good. The rooms were clean and comfortable,. The hallways had a hint of smoke smell throughout the campus, but it was enjoyable stay. I would recommend it for a short stay.

This is undeniably a wonderful place to unwind and try your luck. I greatly enjoyed playing the slots and tables, adding an exciting touch to my visit. The establishment exudes a sense of cleanliness that is commendable and adds up to the overall excellent experience. I had an absolutely good time and would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for mild, enjoyable entertainment. It’s certainly a place you would love to spend some pleasurable moments.

Been here waiting for at least 30 mins to get this issue fixed. Found a staff walking around and said he couldn’t help, got to wait for someone to come. Place is definitely understaffed.

Edit: Woah! Ended leaving the machine as it was taking forever, but a fellow patron walked up to me at a different slot machine, completely different area, after like 2 hours later to let me know staff had taking fixed the issue and a voucher should be with the security. Super cool! Place may be understaffed but the customers are all super cool!. 3 stars now for amazing folks here

This review is strictly for the horse racing track, I have not been into the casino yet. I had a wonderful time watching harness racing at Hoosier Park. I’ve been to lots of Thoroughbred races before, but this was my first time seeing harness racing live. The track was setup nice. You can get right down on the rail at the finish line. The staff were all friendly.

I was on vacation with family for a family reunion and we were taking here. It was a beautiful experience. Mom in a walker parking easy and elevator. I’m not personally one to visit casinos. However, the staff were nice with consideration for my mother. Confused on a lot of machines so I lost 35 within 10 minutes of play time. However I walked to find machines I’m more use to. I played 400 and cashed at for 440. So I broke even with a 5 in my pocket.
My only complaint is no sit down restaurant, plus only sandwich type food.
Nice place to watch football games also

I’ve never been to a Casino and didn’t win anything. No machines were ringing everyone was looking disappointed and complaining to each other. I do not recommend Harrah’s Hoosier Park.

The set-up is awesome! I love everything about it besides the part where you walk out a winner or at least with the same amount you walked in with. On the list of best paying out casinos Harrah’s Hoosier Park Casino (Anderson, IN) is at the very bottom! Which stinks if you are going because you are looking forward to winning…winning anything at all that is. Now if your going out just for a good time then I would rate it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It also has a smoking and non-smoking areas in the Casino. Which is nice whether your a smoker or non smoker. Now it does have restaurants upstairs to dine at I just haven’t been upstairs to be able to tell you anything other than that I know it has places to eat at. I do know they are not open upstairs 24/7 so those would have to be visited in the day or early evening.

I enjoyed this place since end of 2008. BUT This place getting worst after year after years.
# most evening. — no ice, broken coffee machine, bad coffee tast,no coffee lids for coffee cup..
# Too tight slot machine..
# lot of slot machine is out of service..
# Not many food choices..
# No buffet since 2020..
# table games is too tight ( Three 000 roulette, most 6/5 pay out blackjack )
# video game poker is 8/5 pay out or worst..

Great environment, Great food, fast service, what else can you ask for. Update 11/4- In town on business, I tried to take a few friends to the place I really liked last time I was here, only to be completely ignored. I stood at the bar for 10 mins at least as the bartender served all her regulars. It wasn’t even busy. I would not recommend going there unless you are just trying to bet.

Fun place to eat and Gamble on horses. Z is over if the car tenders and he is awesome. Very good at making drinks and really easy going. They also have a private club I gave been trying to join got for the last year but we will see how that goes.

The place is a Great Little place in Indianapolis! Great service from our bartender Tiffany whom help us make food selections. The size portions were unbelievable! Will definitely be returning.

Definitely 21 & over. They card you at the door upon entry. Basically you order at the bar, tell them where you will be sitting, & they bring it to you. Tons of TV with lots of sports plus horse racing. Let’s talk about the menu it’s not large, but definitely has something for everyone. Indiana known for Pork Tenderloin Sandwich was a great size & enjoyed the seasoned fries. At the bartender’s suggestion I tried the Pork Tenderloin with mashed potatoes, cream gravy, & onion strings. Fantastic! Full bar & enjoyed a really tasty margarita. Would definitely go back.

My 1st time here and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by security. The food was not great, cold. I was left sitting on a bill round 90.00 I tried to pay for over an hour. 3 different ppl had to come out . Guy at the service desk is very rude just because I asked about the parking promo posted inside . I’d go to another place so many more welcoming places and faces this is just not it . I only ended up here because of the Shelbyville horse shoe, never again. Also the guy at the bar was the only one in a great mood, good service skills and all around very energetic.

Surprisingly, the catfish was fantastic!! It was seasoned with spicey cornmeal (I opted for no bun!), cole slaw along with tator tots! Food was delish, hot and well worth the money!!

The Bartender Denita was great she took our food and drinks order and we didn’t have to wait long for our drinks or food everything was subverb great service
