Aug 06, 2019 The Blue Chip Casino is your average Midwest gaming parlor. We ate at The Champ in the casino and it was fine. Service was slow getting the food but waitress was very good. The food was average. We had the ribs and the meatloaf sandwich. We would probably order them again but doubt we'd rush back to have the fare.
TYPES OF INDIANA CASINOS
There are three types of Indiana casinos: riverboat casinos, pari-mutuel casinos, and one Indian casino.

Pari-Mutuel Casinos in Indiana
In April 2007, the Indiana state legislature authorized the state’s two horse tracks (Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand) to have up to 2,000 electronic gaming machines.
There are no casinos in Indianapolis, but the two racetrack casinos are the closest casinos to Indianapolis. Indiana Grand Racing & Casino is about 30 miles southeast and Hoosier Park Racing & casino is about 45 miles northeast.
Both casinos are open 24 hours and the minimum gambling age is 21. The minimum age for pari-mutuel betting is 18.
Indian Casinos in Indiana
Indiana has one Indian casino (Four Winds Casino South Bend) which opened in early 2018. This casino only offers Class II gambling which consist of electronic gaming machines which look like slot machines, but are actually games of bingo and the spinning video reels are for “entertainment purposes only.'
If you want to order a drink while playing, be aware that state gaming regulations do not allow Indiana casinos to provide free alcoholic beverages.
Hotels Near Blue Chip Casino
NOTE: If you happen to win a jackpot of $1,200 or more in Indiana, the casino will withhold 3.4% of your winnings for the Indiana Department of Revenue. You may, however, be able to get some of that money refunded by filing a state income tax return. The $1,200 threshold also applies to any cash prizes won in casino drawings or tournaments.
