Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, located in Gary, opened on Tuesday its expanded slot floor, featuring 65 new machines across 1,240 square feet of gaming space. The added space is adjacent to the Fresh Harvest eatery.
Michael Gaudreau, Hard Rock vice president of casino operations, said: “We incorporated the feedback we received from our guests when making our decisions about the games, as we wanted to include familiar favorites to best utilize the new space and enhance the gaming experience. Be sure to stay tuned as we continue to enhance this space in the future.”
The operator noted that the added gaming space enables it to offer slot machines with the latest advancements in gaming technology, along with more room for a mix of popular classic games and better sight lines to the casino’s live entertainment and music memorabilia displays. A vast number of the new games feature larger screens, including Lock it Link and Lucky Drums, as reported by the Longview News-Journal.
Following the expansion, Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana now offers its guests more than 1,700 slot machines and 80 table games, among the most in the state. Casino officials said the additional gaming space builds on Hard Rock’s mission of bringing a Las Vegas entertainment experience to Northwest Indiana.
It is worth mentioning that, as reported by the Indiana Gaming Commission, in September Hard Rock collected more “win,” or revenue after paying successful bettors, than any of the 11 other commercial casinos located throughout Indiana for a 12th consecutive month.
The $300 million land-based gaming and entertainment destination, located adjacent to Interstate 80/94 at Burr Street, opened to the public on May 14, 2021, as a replacement for the former Majestic Star Casino boats at Gary’s Buffington Harbor.
