ANDERSON, Ind. – Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino is set to unveil the highly anticipated live table games on Wednesday, January 1 at 1 p.m. The casino floor is currently being set for 28 table games readied for play while new dealers prepare to transition from Dealer Academy to their new positions.
Among the 28 tables, players will soon be able to enjoy a variety of games. The casino floor will feature four Roulette tables, two Craps tables, two Three Card Poker tables, four Blazing Seven Blackjack tables, one Double Deck Blackjack table and 13 Blackjack tables featuring EZ Bust and Trilux bets. Double Deck Blackjack and Hand-shuffle Blackjack are the two High Limit live games that will be available.
Preparations for live table games have been underway throughout the property for the past several months. Harrah’s Hoosier Park began conducting Live Dealer Academy in September of 2019, to prepare a new workforce for the expansion. Many existing team members grabbed the opportunity to become a dealer when Dealer Academy began in September.
A total of 30 existing Harrah’s Hoosier Park team members have been trained to become live dealers, and 130 additional dealer trainees were recruited to join the team. On January 1, a total of 160 dealers will be trained, licensed and ready to facilitate table games and assist guests. The introduction of table games created 218 jobs in the table games department, and dozens of jobs were added property-wide including additional beverage servers, and new hospitality hosts. With the introduction of table games, Harrah’s Hoosier Park remains one of the largest employers in Madison County.
“Bringing table games to Harrah’s Hoosier Park will result in more than two hundred quality, life-changing jobs,” noted Christopher Clark, Director of Table Games at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. “I know the impact personally as 23 years ago, I was that new dealer. Harrah’s Hoosier Park has been the opportunity of a lifetime and as a first-time Director I couldn’t have asked for a better facility. Everyone has been encouraging and supportive. I’m not just building a department; I’m building a Hoosier Family and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome guests on January 1.”
The festivities on January 1 will begin with casino entertainment starting at 11 a.m. A DJ will play festive tunes at the Double R Bar, which will be serving drink specials all day. Harrah’s Hoosier Park will also host an official opening ceremony and media event at Noon, followed by an exclusive hour of play for dignitaries and casino VIP guests.
The first 800 guests to check in to Caesars Rewards in the Casino starting at Noon will receive a commemorative pair of fuzzy dice. All of the tables will be officially opened to the public at 1 p.m.
Guests will also be invited to enter the New Year’s Day Drawings, where five winners will be drawn every half hour to win $100 in free play and one guest will be drawn to win $500 in free play at 5:30 p.m. Guests can activate their entries for the New Year’s Day Drawings at 11 am.
