Rising Star Casino Resort

Casino and hotel in Indiana, US

Rising Star Casino Resort (previously the Grand Victoria Casino & Resort) is a riverboat casino and hotel in Rising Sun, Indiana, US, owned and operated by Full House Resorts.

History[edit]

The Indiana Gaming Commission in June 1995 selected a Hyatt-affiliated project in Rising Sun to receive a riverboat gaming license.[1]

The Grand Victoria II casino opened in October 1996.[2]

The Grand Victoria opened a 200-room hotel and an entertainment pavilion in July 1997, with a grand opening ceremony hosted by Robin Leach and Rich Little.[3]

Hyatt decided in 2006 to sell the Grand Victoria.[4] In 2011, Full House Resorts purchased the property for $43 million, and renamed it as the Rising Star Casino Resort.[5]

A second hotel with 104 rooms, the $8-million North Star Tower, was opened at the site in December 2013.[6]

In 2021 Rising Star partnered with WynnBET to launch a mobile betting platform, which partnered with the Cincinnati Reds to make team promotions available to users.[7]
