The COVID-19 pandemic complicated those plans, McIntosh said at a groundbreaking for the project last May. Planning for the expansion began in earnest in 2019, after Indiana lawmakers approved legislation permitting legalized sports betting across the state and green-lighting live table games. Other amenities, including a high limit space, a casino bar featuring hand-crafted cocktails and a quick-serve restaurant accessible directly from the casino floor, are expected to boost the facility's profile among the state's gaming destinations, McIntosh said. Officials had targeted early to mid-July of 2023 for the grand opening of the new space, which is projected to add about 30,000 square feet to the casino and house approximately 150 new slot machines and 11 table games. "We're looking at October at this point" for the project to be fully completed, said Trent McIntosh, senior vice president and general manager at Harrah's Hoosier Park. 27-ANDERSON - Supply chain issues that have plagued the construction industry, plus other logistical challenges, have converged to slow progress on a $40 million expansion project at Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing and Casino.
