Majestic Star Casino, Casino in Gary, Indiana.
Majestic Star Casino was a gaming establishment in Gary, Indiana, situated along Lake Michigan's Buffington Harbor. The facility contained multiple floors with slot machines, table games, poker rooms, and several dining venues including a steakhouse.
The casino started in 1996 as two separate gaming boats that operated on alternating schedules across Lake Michigan. After 2002, when Indiana allowed stationary watercraft gambling, the operation shifted to permanent structures and continued until closure in 2021.
The establishment integrated gaming entertainment into Gary's industrial landscape, providing both employment opportunities and recreational activities for the local population.
The facility was located in a harbor area with straightforward access from major regional highways. Visitors could use multiple dining options on-site to eat during their stay.
The operation was among the first gambling ventures Indiana licensed after legalizing riverboat gaming. Its initial function as a moving boat set it apart from land-based casinos in neighboring states.
