Does Blue Chip Casino offer an online casino in Indiana?

Online casinos are not legal in Indiana, so the only legal IN online gambling option remains sports betting. However, Boyd Gaming ? which runs Blue Chip Casino ? also offers the Stardust Social Casino, where you can play many of the slots from Blue Chip Casino?s floor for free, no matter where you are. Authentic games with actual game models and payouts become available regularly, allowing you to accrue Boyd points and tier credits from in-app purchases.

Does Blue Chip Casino offer a sportsbook in Indiana?

Blue Chip Casino Hotel Spa saw the opening of a FanDuel retail sportsbook on Sept. 5, 2019. Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher placed the first wager, hours ahead of the start of the 2019-20 NFL season.

Blue Chip Casino rewards program

Blue Chip Casino customers can participate in Boyd Rewards, a five-tier loyalty program available in 28 Boyd Gaming casinos across 10 states. To register, you must visit the Boyd Rewards Players Club booth, present a government-issued non-expired ID and complete the membership form.

The Boyd Rewards program allows you to earn tier credits and Boyd points and redeem them for free slots and table play, food, discounts on hotel stays, VIP lounge access, birthday rewards, and other benefits. The higher you get in tiers, the better the prizes get, potentially including stays in Las Vegas and cruises.

Your awarded tier membership depends on the tier credits you have accumulated throughout the year:

• Ruby: 0-749 tier credits
• Sapphire: 750-14,999 tier credits
• Emerald: 15,000-49,999 tier credits
• Onyx: 50,000-199,999 tier credits
• Titanium: 200,000+ tier credits

How do you earn points at Blue Chip Casino?

Boyd Rewards program members earn tier credits and Boyd points based on their gameplay. While earning tier credits that have no monetary value and serve only to help you reach higher levels of the program is available from the moment you join the loyalty program, earning Boyd points is only possible once you have achieved Sapphire status.

Every $5 you wager on slots and keno machines will earn you one tier credit, whereas the number of tier credits you earn on video poker and table games is based on the game, denomination and average time you spend playing.

Every $1 you wager on slots and keno machines will count toward one Boyd point. If you are playing table games and video poker machines, you?ll need to stake $2 for one Boyd point.

Can you get free play at Blue Chip Casino?

Absolutely. You can redeem Boyd points for free play, with 1,000 Boyd points worth $1 in free play. Also, free play is available through various daily and weekly promotions the casino may run.

Blue Chip Casino history and current owners

The Indiana Gaming Commission issued a certificate of suitability for a riverboat owner?s license for Blue Chip Casino on April 17, 1996, and the venue opened on Aug. 22, 1997. The commission approved the sale of the casino to Boyd Gaming in 1999, and Boyd has been running the casino ever since.

Blue Chip started as a riverboat casino with three levels, but following several renovation and expansion projects, most notably a $163 million one in 2005, the new vessel more than doubled its size and housed all games on a single level.
