Majestic Star Casino Hotel 3cz20

Majestic Star Casino Hotel in Gary, Indiana is an unusual find for the American Midwest. This part of Indiana, along the Ohio River, is known as Kentucky-ana due to its proximity to Kentucky and the fact that the Kentucky side of the border is much more heavily-populated. Majestic Star Casino Hotel is technically just outside the town of Gary. Majestic Star Casino is only about 1,000 feet from the Kentucky border. 4fy3p

Majestic Star is designed to attract customers from southern Indiana, but also to attract Kentucky citizens without access to casino gambling in their own state. Indiana has only eleven casinos, three of which are in the Gary area, taking advantage of the state’s liberal riverboat gambling laws. Combining a hotel (on land) and a 40,000 square foot casino (on the Ohio River), Majestic Star is a hybrid tourist attraction and local gambling hotspot.

Indiana’s riverboat gambling laws are fairly permissive, allowing head-to-head poker, table games like blackjack and craps, and a whole host of electronic machines like video poker and slot games. All are available on board the riverboat at Majestic Star, 24 hours a day, all year-round.

The riverboat has two dining and drinking options – an upscale diner-style restaurant and a snack bar serving gamblers 24 hours a day, near the machine gaming section of the gaming floor. The hotel complex has more restaurant options, including room service for hotel guests.
