Data released Wednesday by the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) show Hard Rock in December was the highest earning casino in the Hoosier State for a third consecutive month – once again surpassing the perennial earnings leader, Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, for “win,” or revenue after paying successful bettors.

Hard Rock’s win from slot machines and table games totaled $32.4 million for the month, a 5.7% increase compared to its November win, and 9.25% more than Horseshoe’s December win of $29.7 million, according to the IGC.

Matt Schuffert, president of Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, which only opened to the public May 14 as a replacement for Gary’s former Majestic Star casinos, said he was pleased the new casino “had its strongest month yet in December.”
