TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – A company that has show previous interest in bringing a casino to Terre Haute is planning to reintroduce its plan.

On Monday, Full House Resorts announced it intended to reintroduce a proposal to move unused gambling games from its Rising Star Casino Resort to a supplemental location in Terre Haute.

The company originally proposed this plan in the 2017 legislative session. After a tie vote, the bill did not make it out of the Senate Public Policy Committee.

Recently, Spectacle Entertainment bought two casinos in Gary.

Spectacle will ask Indiana General Assembly to move one of those gaming licenses somewhere else in the state and Terre Haute is on that list.

Local businessman Greg Gibson is a principal investor of Spectacle Entertainment.

Full House returned to the Indiana legislature this year with a proposal to allow casino owners to compete for a Terre Haute location without eliminating jobs and investments in their home communities.
