The Indiana Gaming Commission is sticking to its decision to name Trump's casino company their number one choice to develop the approved casino in French Lick, Indiana.

In a public letter issued by the commission, they wanted to make clear their support of Trump Hotel and Casino Resort company.

The Indiana Gaming Commission Chairman Donald Vowels signed the letter himself. The letter also stated that the commission already knew of a possible bankruptcy filing before they even voted to approve the proposed deal. The deal awarded that states 11th and final casino license to Trump last month.

Some analysts say that the casino would struggle to succeed with or with out the bankruptcy. It is said by analysts that there simply aren't enough gamblers in the area to sustain the casino. This viewpoint was quickly defended earlier this month when casino developers reminded analysts that the casino will provide much more than just gambling. They are building a complete resort, revamping two historical buildings and providing such Trump passions as a top notch golf course.

Local residents and business owners in French Lick are very much in favor of the new resort and casino and have publicly expressed their support as well.

The Indiana Gaming Commission does not feel in any way that the recent filing for restructure on Trump's behalf will interfere with the company's ability to stick to the proposed new casino in Indiana.

Many speculate that the real issue is in Atlantic City and only in Atlantic City.
