Lawrenceburg, IN —Indiana sportsbooks hit a typical early-summer lull, and the continued hiatus of major American sports doesn’t help, according to PlayIndiana. June’s $29.8 million handle was shy by $145 million of what would have been expected with a full menu of summer sports, according to PlayIndiana estimates. But with an uptick in futures betting, major sports on the near horizon, and the reopening of retail casinos and sportsbooks, the industry still inched closer to normal

With casinos reopening, June marked the return of retail sports betting. But that produced a relatively tiny $558,970 handle from in-person wagers, the first since March. A tepid reopening of in-person betting was expected with the sports world still trying to restart, but it is still an important milestone.

Hollywood Lawrenceburg led the market with $323,968 in handle.
