INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  – Friday (5/15/20) the Indiana Gaming Commission unanimously approved Spectacle Jack’s application for a casino in Vigo County.

Spectacle Jack LLC filed an amended application after the commission launched an investigation into a federal court case that involved two executives from Spectacle Entertainment.

Those two people removed themselves from the project.

Spectacle Jack LLC was the lone applicant.

Site approval is expected in August with a groundbreaking slated for September of this year.

The casino is projected to open in September 2021.

The casino will be branded a Rocksino and will be affiliated with the Hard Rock brand.

Spectacle Jack has planned a 1,200-game casino complete with four restaurants, four bars, an enclosed, temperature-controlled walkway to the adjacent Home2Suites hotel and a provision for a future on-site hotel.
