French Lick is in Orange County in the southern Indiana hill country, approximately 100 miles south of Indianapolis via IN-37 and IN-56 and approximately 150 miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky via I-64 and IN-56. The town is famous for three things: its mineral springs (which drew visitors to “taking the waters” health resorts in the 19th and early 20th centuries), the French Lick Springs Hotel (1845) and West Baden Springs Hotel (1902) — both National Historic Landmarks — and as the birthplace of Larry Bird, the NBA Hall of Fame forward who played for the Boston Celtics.

The hotel-resort complex had fallen into disrepair by the mid-20th century before a major restoration effort, supported by Indiana gaming licenses issued to the site, revived the French Lick Springs Hotel and West Baden Springs Hotel to their historic grandeur. French Lick Resort Casino opened in 2006 as the gaming component of this destination resort, which now includes spa facilities, championship golf (including courses designed by Pete Dye), conference facilities, and event spaces in the historic hotel buildings.

Let It Ride Bonus Poker adds a progressive side bet to standard Let It Ride.

Resort Context

French Lick Resort Casino operates within the French Lick Springs Hotel complex — a National Historic Landmark resort. The resort includes the historic Pete Dye Course (1917) and two other championship golf courses, a full spa, the West Baden Springs Hotel’s signature domed atrium (considered an engineering marvel at its 1902 construction), and extensive event facilities. The casino is a component of this destination resort rather than a standalone gaming facility. Detected amenities include hotel, spa, pool, golf, sportsbook, concerts, meeting spaces, and wedding facilities.

French Lick's National Historic Landmark resort casino — Sharpshooter, Crazy 4 Poker, Pete Dye golf, and Larry Bird's hometown

French Lick Resort Casino is the gaming component of one of Indiana's most historically significant resort destinations — the restored National Historic Landmark French Lick Springs Hotel and West Baden Springs Hotel complex. The 37-table game menu includes specialty formats (Sharpshooter, Crazy 4 Poker, High Card Flush) not at most Indiana casinos. The Pot Limit Omaha poker spread is notable. For visitors from Indianapolis or Louisville, French Lick is a multi-day destination resort rather than a day-trip casino. Confirm current promotions and resort hotel availability at frenchlick.com or (888) 936-9360.
