There is a casino in French Lick not much more than an hour away from Bloomington and Caesar's in the Louisville area about 1 and a half hours away. I imagine that when Cook got the licence to open the French Lick casino he had some assurances that Indy (or any other city in central Indiana) wouldn't be opening one very soon. He is a major donar to IU and very influential within the state. (He's richer than Oprah for goodness sake). If Indy were to get a casino it would hurt his casino in French Lick some. That's just my guess though so I could be way off base.
