Football Icons Launch Indiana Sports Betting

Several casinos invited football legends to place the first legal sports bets. At Ameristar Casino East Chicago, former Chicago Bears icons, coach Mike Ditka and kick returner Devin Hester, did the honors. At Horseshoe Casino in Elizabeth, it was former Green Bay Packers star Paul Hornung, (l.), 83—ironic since he was suspended in 1963 for gambling.
