The Indiana Gaming Commission has called off a meeting during which it was expected to grant the license for a new Terre Haute casino after a political consultant pleaded guilty to federal charges of illegally funneling campaign contributions for an Indianapolis-based gaming company.
The commission said Friday it was investigating information it received Thursday about Indianapolis-based Spectacle Entertainment and canceled the Feb. 7 meeting that was set in Vigo County.
Spectacle's general counsel, John Keeler, didn’t immediately return telephone and email messages from The Associated Press seeking comment Friday.
Spectacle also owns the two Gary casinos along Lake Michigan and is building a new $400 million casino along Interstate 80/94 in Gary.
