Ameristar Casino is making baccarat — Northwest Indiana’s most popular casino table game — more accessible to its thousands of monthly visitors.

The gaming riverboat located at Pastrick Marina on Lake Michigan recently completed an eight-week renovation of its attached land-based pavilion that puts Ameristar’s baccarat tables just steps away from the casino’s entrance.

Now, instead of having to trek through the pavilion and up four floors on the boat to get to the baccarat tables, Ameristar guests can play baccarat in brand new digs on the third floor of the pavilion in a space previously used for meetings and events.
