Hard Rock Issues Statement Regarding Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- "We've taken note of the recent headlines incorrectly associating Hard Rock with several individuals for alleged improprieties regarding land dealings in the city of Gary, where Hard Rock has expressed interest in building a world class entertainment destination. Hard Rock has built a vast portfolio of gaming licenses in multiple states and countries around the world, due to adhering to our company values of honesty and integrity. While Hard Rock has no relationship with the individuals identified, we have turned this over to the Hard Rock Board compliance committee for further due diligence. We intend to proceed with the proposed site in Gary as we always have, by adhering and upholding only the highest standards and principles in our business dealings."
