Hoosier Park Pays 250 Million For Licensing Fee
(ANDERSON) - The Hoosier Park Horse Track in Anderson is planning a 90-thousand square foot expansion to house new slot machines.
The new casino area will be located north of the existing clubhouse and will include places for visitors to get food and drinks.
Hoosier Park President Rick Moore expects the building, machine, and finance costs to rise above one-hundred million dollars.
The Indiana General Assembly passed legislation this year that allows up to two-thousand slot machines at each of Indiana's two horse racing tracks. They must pay an initial licensing fee of 250 million dollars.
Hoosier park plans must still be approved by Indiana's gaming and racing commissions before construction can begin.
