GARY, Ind. -- The Indiana Gaming Commission has renewed the licenses of two riverboat casinos for five years and was set to consider renewing a third license today.

The commission renewed the licenses of the Majestic Star and Trump on Thursday. Still to be decided was whether the commission would approve the license renewal for the Horseshoe Casino riverboat, which is owned by Jack Binion.

A group of gambling opponents was set to oppose renewing the riverboat's license, fearing Binion's alleged failure to comply with regulations in other states and his ties to Las Vegas will hurt the area.
