INDIANAPOLIS, Ind – On Wednesday the Indiana Gaming Commission met virtually and unanimously voted for the emergency license suspension of Rod Ratcliff.

Ratcliff and another executive, John Keeler were tied to an out-of-state lawsuit involving election-fraud.

The company is working to move a water-based casino in Gary, Indiana to land.

Ratcliff’s counsel argued that he has agreed to give up his shares of the company and say the emergency suspension wasn’t necessary.

The commission also raised concerns about his involvement with Spectacle Entertainment.

If approved, those shares are set to go to local businessman, Greg Gibson who is also involved with Spectacle.

He’s the leader of Spectacle Jack which is working to bring a casino to Vigo County.

The gaming commission also voted on an order related to Keeler.

He will have to get rid of any interests in Spectacle Entertainment by mid-January.
