Indiana's 13 commercial casinos currently earn about $2.3 billion a year and generate $670 million in taxes used to fund local governments, property tax relief and state entities like the Indiana Horse Racing Commission. Of those total tax collections, the Ohio County casino contributes less than 1%. "Traditionally, probity checks have taken many months for new operators in casinos across the different state jurisdictions," Mr Jones said. United Workers Union casinos director Andrew Jones said there was growing frustration amongst staff towards Star's "business as usual" approach.
