Indiana lawmakers are proposing to cut riverboat casino taxes, and allow the floating gambling halls to move onto land.
Supporters say it will help the state's ten casinos facing growing competition from neighboring states.
A Senate committee is expected to take up a bill this week overhauling casino taxes, although estimates are not available on how much money might be involved.
The debate comes as Indiana is projecting its casino tax revenue will drop 15-percent over the next three years.
