Spectacle Entertainment and Hard Rock International Break Ground On $400 Million Hard Rock Casino Northern IndianaReading Time: 2 minutes

 

Spectacle Entertainment and Hard Rock International announced the development and construction of Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana at an official groundbreaking ceremony held on Thursday, Jan. 9. The ceremony was conducted at the construction site, located at 5400 West 29th Ave. in Gary, and included state and local officials, Spectacle Entertainment and Hard Rock executives.

Concluding the ceremony, Executive Director of the Indiana Gaming Commission Sara Tait, Spectacle Entertainment Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rod Ratcliff and Chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida Marcellus Osceola planted shovels to commemorate the start of construction on Indiana’s first Hard Rock property. Various other officials, including Gary Mayor Jerome Prince and Hard Rock International Chief Operating Officer Jon Lucas joined the trio on stage.

The premier 200,000-square-foot entertainment complex is a joint venture between the two companies and will include six food venues, a sportsbook, a retail shop, a 2,000-seat showroom and more than 2,130 gaming positions. Phase two of the project will see the addition of a 200-plus-room hotel and a multi-level parking garage.

Guests of Honor at the ceremony were Tito, Jackie and Marlon Jackson, of the world-renowned Jackson family. The brothers began their career while residing in Gary and returned to the area as a group for the first time in fifty years. With hits like “I Want You Back” and “Never Can Say Goodbye,” The Jacksons are known as one of the most influential families in musical history.

Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana is forecasting more than $20 million annually in tax revenue and payments to the City of Gary and surrounding communities. Approximately 1,000 construction jobs, with an emphasis to hire union labor, and an estimated additional 500 jobs are expected. With a location adjacent to the 80/94 Burr Street interchange and approximately 193,000 cars passing daily, the expectation is to become the leading entertainment destination for the entire Northern Indiana region.

Additionally, Spectacle Entertainment has a commitment to local investment with a pledge to work with minority and women owned businesses. Currently all 17 senior leaders at Spectacle’s Majestic Star Casino are board directors for local charitable and community organizations in Gary and the Northern Indiana region. The team has sponsored, participated and volunteered for multiple local events and programs throughout the year, with a plan to directly drive more than $500,000 in fundraising in 2020.

Ratcliff stated, “Breaking ground for Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana is the start of an incredible partnership between Spectacle Entertainment, Hard Rock International and the City of Gary, Indiana. It is an honor to be here today and to see this dream become a reality. A lot of work has gone into this project, a lot of planning. I’m grateful to all those who played a part in it. There is no doubt this is a game changer for Gary, Indiana and the entire Northern Indiana region.”

Hard Rock has a presence in 76 countries and is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Spectacle Entertainment is confident the Hard Rock name will attract visitors through­out the region and beyond, maximize job creation, increase tax revenues, and greatly benefit the City of Gary and the State of Indiana.

“It’s an honor to partner with Spectacle Entertainment on this project, bringing the Hard Rock brand of world-class entertainment to Northern Indiana,” said Jon Lucas, Chief Operating Officer of Hard Rock International. “This property will be the premier casino destination in the region.”

Million Games is proud to announce the latest game launch of Million Blackjack London Deal, an authentic European-style blackjack experience designed for real players. This latest addition to the Million Blackjack series follows their first launch of Million Blackjack Peek, offering players an alternative way to enjoy the classic casino favourite.

Unlike its American-rules counterpart, Million Blackjack London Deal features a distinctive dealing style – cards are dealt one at a time, and the dealer takes only one card in the initial round. This subtle yet strategic difference brings a fresh challenge to blackjack enthusiasts, requiring sharper decision-making and an enhanced focus on game strategy.

Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games, commented on the significance of introducing both versions under their traditional names: “We wanted to give players the true blackjack experience. With Million Blackjack Peek and Million Blackjack London Deal, we’re providing real players with the versions they know and love, allowing them to engage with the game in its purest form.”

Million Games remains committed to delivering high-quality, player-focused experiences, and Million Blackjack London Deal is a testament to this dedication. Whether players prefer the American Peek version or the European London Deal format, Million Games ensures a seamless and engaging blackjack experience.

The upgraded offering will give operators access to increased in-play opportunities and new micro markets

Altenar has enhanced its sportsbook offering with an upgraded tennis vertical, now featuring official TDI data through a strategic integration with Sportradar.

The recent launch brings fast, live data from ATP and Challenger Tour events, increasing the number of in-play betting opportunities and introducing innovative micro markets. By leveraging Sportradar’s advanced AI and deep tennis data from TDI, Altenar can now process hundreds of thousands of data points from every match, offering a significant boost in betting options for users.

The introduction of micro markets allows users to bet on events with an immediate result, such as next serve, break points or the total number of shots in a point. This new feature is expected to enhance the user experience and drive further engagement, as micro markets have already proven to be successful in soccer and major US sports.

Altenar’s commitment to utilising premium data from official rights holders underlines its focus on delivering a superior sportsbook experience. The improvements aim to boost retention rates for operators, ultimately leading to greater revenue.

Antonis Karakousis, Director of Operations at Altenar, said: “This is a pivotal opportunity to achieve our growth ambitions. By integrating cutting-edge tennis data, we are providing unique betting options and the lowest possible latency across all our operators, driving innovation in the industry.”
