The Hoosier State now is home to two Horseshoe casinos.
In addition to Horseshoe Hammond, the former Indiana Grand horse track casino in the central Indiana city of Shelbyville was rebranded Tuesday as Horseshoe Indianapolis Racing and Casino.
The rebranding caps a $33.7 million expansion and renovation that included creation of a 5,000-square-foot World Series of Poker Room featuring 20 tables; a 20-seat video poker bar with 65" LCD overhead screens; new table games, slots and gaming chairs; new design elements throughout the gaming floor; and more than 100 new jobs.
"The Horseshoe brand was founded on the commitment to making it right for the gambler, focused on service and dedicated to our guests," said Dan Nita, regional president for Caesars Entertainment. "We look forward to celebrating this next chapter in central Indiana with Horseshoe."

"Being able to link our property and services to the Horseshoe brand will enhance the gaming, racing, dining and entertainment experience for our guests," said Steve Jarmuz, senior vice president and general manager at Horseshoe Indianapolis.
"The addition of the World Series of Poker Room coupled with our Caesars Race and Sportsbook gives our guests a unique menu of gaming opportunities, all located on one floor."
