INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana casinos made $427.08 million in fiscal year (FY) 2025 from table games, with craps being responsible for $55.77 million (13.1%) of the win. Craps players had the most success at the Ameristar Casino, as the house collected just $2.85 million off $17.66 million in bets.
Ameristar’s ~16% hold rate is not far off the national average, but the overall craps win rate was far below average across all 12 Indiana casinos with craps. The Indiana Gaming Commission reported a 22.3% hold from craps, the third-highest table game hold behind roulette and poker variations like Pai Gow and 3 Card Poker.

The average hold rate comes from the UNLV Center for Gaming Research study that tracked the monthly Nevada hold percentages from 2004-2025. This reference point shows that Indiana casinos had a very successful FY 2025 compared to industry standard, resulting in more than $427 million in profit.
Indiana’s 22% craps hold means players won just 78 cents per $1 bet. The table odds may be the same as those found at legal online craps sites, but players at Indiana casinos struggled in 2025.
