I like to play craps, but I'm glad there's no vitual craps. No nickel VP unless you want to play 5-30 hands at a time. The food is expensive - $11 for a Johnny Rocket's single combo???

Harrah’s Hoosier Park is a horse racing track and casino property. Caesars Entertainment owns Hoosier Park, which operates the property under its Harrah’s brand.

Hoosier Park is in Anderson, Indiana. The venue is about twenty miles southwest of Muncie and forty miles northeast of Indianapolis. The casino and race track are accessible from Exit 226 on I-69.

The horse racing track at Hoosier Park was formed in 1994. The casino property opened in 2008. Caesars Entertainment acquired Hoosier Park and the Indiana Grand Racing and Casino property in Shelbyville in 2018. The Caesars Sports sportsbook location at the venue opened a year later.

Sports Wagering at Harrah’s Hoosier Park

Harrah’s Hoosier Park is home to a sportsbook called The Book. The Book is run by Caesars Sports and is next to the Terrace Showroom in the casino.

The Book features dozens of seats and a video wall featuring ten flatscreen television monitors. There are both automated kiosks and teller stations available to help you place your bets.

The teller station includes monitors displaying the latest lines and odds. Odds sheets are also available at the counter, so you can take one of these papers with you and strategize your bets before making your choices.

The Book is open at 11 a.m. each day for sports betting. It closes at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 p.m. every other day. You can cash in any winning tickets at the main casino cage if the sportsbook is closed.

What Sports Are Available?

You can place bets on one of many sports events at The Book. The sports available for wagering include:

• NFL and NCAA football
• NBA, WNBA, and NCAA basketball
• Baseball

• Auto racing

What Wagers Are Available?

The Book supports various wagering options, including:

• In-progress or live bets; these entail odds that are adjusted based on the score and the time left
• Parlays
• Teasers
• First-half and first five innings bets; these entail placing bets on who will do well at the start of a game
• Half-time bets; the lines change after the midway point of a game
• Straight and total wagering; this entails betting on both a point spread and the total on the same entry
• Rounds; this is for combat sports and entails betting on how many rounds a fight will last
• Auto racing matchups where you bet on which of two drivers will have a better finish

A winning ticket expires 365 days after the event ends and the result is decided. This point is essential for futures bets, especially if you need extra time to reach the sportsbook.

On the Hoosier Park Casino Floor

Harrah’s Hoosier Park has a full casino featuring about 54,000 square feet of gaming space. Here are some of the things you will find on the casino floor.

Slots and Video Poker

Hoosier Park has more than 1,500 slots and video poker machines. These include multiple machines with several progressive jackpots. The games range from one penny to $100 a round.

You will find all the latest slots on the Hoosier Park casino floor. These slots include Pac-Man Wild Edition, Top Dollar Premium, Texas Tea Pinball, Buffalo Grand, and Wonder 4 Tower.

Table Games

Hoosier Park has nearly thirty live table games. These include the following:

• Roulette
• Craps
• Three-card poker
• Double deck blackjack
• Blazing Seven blackjack
• Mississippi Stud poker
• Hand-shuffle blackjack; this game is in the high-limit room

The blackjack games include the EZ Bust and TriLux side bets. The EZ Bust bet pays when the dealer busts. The TriLux pays when your first two cards and the dealer’s card make for one of many poker combinations.

Earning Rewards

Players at Hoosier Park can earn rewards for their casino play as part of the Caesars Rewards system. You can earn points when you play casino games or place bets at the sportsbook and race track.

You can redeem your points for various rewards, including discounted hotel stays at Caesars properties, special pricing at restaurants, and free play credits. The Caesars Rewards credits are available at Hoosier Park and all other Caesars properties, including Indiana Grand and Las Vegas properties like Paris, Planet Hollywood, and Rio.

Harrah’s Hoosier Park is a racetrack and casino located 30 miles outside of Indianapolis in Anderson, Ind. As with all Harrah’s properties, the racetrack and casino are owned and operated by Caesars properties.

The harness racing runs from April through November. Its biggest racing event of the year is the Dan Patch Stakes, with a purse of $300,000. The racetrack will host the Breeder’s Crown events in 2020.

Harrah’s Hoosier Park is one of only two live horse racing venues in the state of Indiana. The racino floor has over 54,000 square feet of gaming. With the addition of sports betting, the racino has also added a sportsbook named The Book. The Book is the name of all the sportsbooks owned by Caesars properties in Indiana.

Promotions

If you are wanting to start the year adding on to your rewards points, Monday is the day to play. Players receive a 100x credit multiplier on Mondays in January. You can also earn a multiplier on rewards on Thursdays in January as well.

The Pursuit the Loot promotion is one of the best ways to bring in the new year. Fridays and Saturdays from Jan. 10 through Feb. 28, you can earn your shot at over $100,000 in cash and prizes.

All you have to do is swipe from noon until 8 pm on those days to be entered into the daily and grand finale drawings. The grand finale drawing will take place on Feb. 29 from 6 to 9 pm, with over $50,000 in cash prizes distributed that day.

Wanting a trip to New Orleans? Come to the racino on Feb. 25 from 3 to 8 pm for a chance to win. From 3 to 7 pm, winners of $250 of free play will be announced on the hour. At 8 pm. one winner will receive a three-night trip to New Orleans.

Every Thursday in February, it will award one $1,000 Southwest gift card. As you can see, Caesars and Harrah’s Hoosier Park combine to offer a big list of promotions to keep players coming back.

Gaming

Harrah’s Hoosier Park is a 24-hour-a-day casino offering over 2,000 new slot machines, a high limit area, The Book, off-track betting, and 28 table games.

Table games

For as big as the one-story casino is, the number of table games leaves a little to be desired. I know racinos are more known for their slot play, but 28 table games just aren’t enough.

Harrah’s Hoosier Park does offer a nice selection of blackjack play, but we wish they would add five to 10 more table games.

• Blackjack
• Double Deck Blackjack
• Blazing 7s Blackjack
• Roulette
• Craps
• Three Card Poker

Harrah’s does not offer a poker room. The high-limit area offers Double Deck Blackjack and a hand-shuffle blackjack table.

Slots

We complained about there not being enough table games, but that definitely isn’t the case with slots. There are over 2,000 slot machines from penny to $100 spins. Almost all the machines are new, giving the floor a new and exciting look.

• Pacman Wild Edition
• Top Dollar Premium Slots
• Heat ‘Em Up Power Wheel
• Fate Of The 8 Power Wheel
• Elvis Shake Rattling Reel
• Texas Tea Pinball
• Wonder 4 Tower
• Buffalo Grand

The Book

The Book is the name of all Caesars property sportsbooks in Indiana. Harrah’s Hoosier Park is no different. This location is about as convenient as can be for such a big property.

It is just off the casino floor and easily accessible for anyone partaking in horse racing. The Book is also a close enough walk to the bar if you’d like a beverage to help calm your nerves for the last few minutes of your sports bet.

The theater-style seating is great when watching the giant television board with 10 TVs but not great if you want to share some food with a group. The seating is probably the most comfortable setup in all of the Indiana sportsbooks, but we wish they would have taken out a row to add more standup tables for sharing an appetizer or discussing a game with your group of friends.

Hours of operations

• Monday – Thursday: 11 am – 11 pm
• Friday: 11 am – midnight
• Saturday: 10 am – midnight
• Sunday: 10 am – 11 am

Rewards program

Because Harrah’s Hoosier Park is a Caesars property, it has Caesars Rewards. The seven other Caesars Indiana locations also have the same rewards program. Your points will travel to all other Caesars properties, not only throughout the state but around the world.

Your Caesars Rewards points can be redeemed for hotel stays, free play, dining and trips. With 40 locations worldwide, you can use your points anywhere around the globe.

If you climb the tiers high enough, you can earn free cruises, trips to Dubai and, for the middle tiers, you still can travel to Atlantic City or Las Vegas.

• Gold: 0 to 4,999 points: Can be redeemed for everything but trips
• Platinum: 5,000-plus points: Free valet parking and one free night in Las Vegas or Atlantic City for every 5,000 points.
• Diamond: 15,000-plus points: The huge plus to reaching Diamond status is two free nights in Dubai at the Caesars Bluewater. Also, once you reach this level, your resort fees will be waived at the Caesars locations.
• Seven Stars: 150,000-plus points: Free Norwegian Cruise trip, additional nights in Dubai, and you will be automatically upgraded to the best room at Caesars hotels.

Online gaming

Caesars has started working on a mobile app for its sports betting locations. We are guessing that just because it is Caesars, it will be one of the more quality mobile sports betting apps, not only in Indiana but in all the states where gambling is legalized.

Since it has so many locations where sports betting is legalized, look for this to be sooner rather than later.

Hoosier Park And Casino

Horse racing

Harrah’s Hoosier Parks is a 7/8 mile race track featuring harness racing from March to November. Parking is free, and children are welcome throughout the horse area, just not in the casino.

Harrah’s Hoosier Park just announced that it will again be hosting the Breeders Crown events for 2020. The event brought in big crowds and exciting action back in 2017.

Racing will return to the track on March 27. The off-track betting area is open all year round for horse betting enthusiasts.

Dining

Harrah’s Hoosier Park offers seven restaurants and a bar. There are even more dining options available when the outside area opens during racing season.

Homestretch Steakhouse

This fine dining restaurant has a great view of the race track and fresh steaks and seafood. The charbroiled hand-trimmed steaks are its specialty, but the seafood selection is superb as well. Homestretch Steakhouse is a great way to end the day after enjoying live horse racing.

Hours of operation

• Closed Sunday and Monday
• Tuesday – Thursday: 5 pm – 10 pm
• Friday and Saturday: 5 pm – 11 pm

Prime Harvest Buffet

This buffet has a little bit of everything and is open every day except Mondays. On Friday and Saturday nights, it has all-you-can-eat prime rib and seafood. On Sundays, it offers an all-day brunch, which features prime rib.

Hours of operation

• Monday: Closed
• Tuesday – Thursday: 11 am – 8 pm
• Friday and Saturday: 11 am – 3 pm, 4 pm – 10 pm
• Sunday: 11 am – 7 pm

Voodoo Bar and Grill

If you are a barbecue lover, this is the place for you. The meats all feature a dry rub and have a little bit of bite with Cajun flavoring. This is some of the best Louisiana food outside of New Orleans with all the traditional southern offerings.

Beans and rice, jambalaya, shrimp po-boys (our personal favorite), and, of course, gumbo. If you are not a po-boy or shrimp fan, we recommend the pulled pork sandwich.

Hours of operation

• Sunday and Monday: 11 am – 9 pm
• Tuesday – Thursday: 11 am – 10 pm
• Friday and Saturday: 11 am – midnight

Homestretch Clubhouse

This is the Homestretch Steakhouse without the big price tag. It is a perfect place to grab a cheeseburger while enjoying the races. The Clubhouse offers a buffet on racing days.

Hours of operation

• Sunday and Monday: Closed
• Tuesday – Saturdays: 5:30 – until racing is over

Dog N Suds

This is exactly like the old style drive-thrus of yesterday. Delicious coney dogs, fries, and, of course, root beer. The root beer floats are a perfect treat if you’ve brought the kids to the races.

Hours of operation

• They are open Friday and Saturdays during racing season.

Caballo Loco Grill & Cantina

This is your typical Mexican restaurant. Good margaritas and the usual; tacos, burritos and really good salsa.

Hours of operation

• Sunday – Thursday: Closed
• Friday and Saturday: 11 am – 11 pm

The Big Deli

Harrah's Hoosier Park Casino Reviews Yelp

The New York-style deli is a great place to grab a sandwich, whether you are heading to the casino or leaving for the day. This isn’t your typical cold cut stop. The burgers are great, and they have patty melts, chicken salad, and the Philly steak is the best thing on the menu. The Big Deli is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Other Indiana Locations

Entertainment

There are three bars on property. Pegasus Lounge has the best view of the race track if you are looking to enjoy a cocktail while you bet on some horses. The Double R Bar is the best place to enjoy a drink while you watch your favorite sporting event on one of their big-screen TVs. The Shoe is also located in a great spot for watching the horses, as the name would suggest.

There are two entertainment venues on property. The Terrace Showroom is a large facility that hosts bands and comedians. It is located right by the Pegasus Lounge and a great place to enjoy a concert or show. The venue is large enough that Jamey Johnson and Dwight Yoakam are both performing shows in the next couple of months.

Harrah's Casino Anderson Indiana

During the summer, the Outdoor Music Center turns into one of the hottest outdoor concert areas in all of Indiana. You can enjoy a full day of action, enjoy horse racing, and then walk over to enjoy a great concert just outside the casino.
