The Indiana Gaming Commission is conducting an investigation of Columbia Sussex Corp. regarding statements it allegedly made about staffing levels at its newly acquired Casino Aztar riverboat. Columbia Sussex became the owner of the boat, based on the Ohio River at Evansville, Ind., when it acquired casino operator Aztar Corp. in January. Ernie Yelton, executive director of the Indiana Gaming Commission, confirmed that a probe has been launched at the request of the mayor of Evansville.

The Seneca Nation of Indians President Maurice John Sr. said Friday the nation will respond to a subpoena from the National Indian Gaming Commission that is seeking records about how gambling revenues are spent. The records were subpoenaed as part of an investigation that involves the Seneca Nation of Indians and the “use of gambling revenues,” said Shawn Pensoneau, a spokesman for the commission. Pensoneau declined to detail what the commission is investigating, but said the scope of the probe is beyond routine audits the federal agency typically conducts.
