(FOX19)- A day after learning Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino pulled in $21 million in its first month of operation, its impact on Indiana casinos is also coming to light.

Statewide, Indiana's 13 gambling halls saw revenue fall 4.4%, with Rising Star Casino in Rising Sun, and Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, taking the hardest hits.

At Hollywood, attendance and revenue fell 25% compared to March 2012 according to Indiana Gaming Commission numbers released Tuesday, which is nearly a $10 million hit.

Rising Star also saw big declines. Revenue there fell 23%, equaling $6.80, with attendance down 20%.

Belterra in Vevay brought in $12 million in revenue last month, down 6% from last year.

For some people who frequent the Horseshoe Casino and Indiana facilities for their gambling needs, they say the signs are pointing to more people gravitating to downtown Cincinnati.

IN (FOX19) - Indiana road crews are out on the highways doing some spring cleaning that includes patching potholes.

The Annual Trash Bash takes place from April 6-28, 2013 and coincides with National Earth Day to aid in raising awareness of litter.

INDOT crews along with crews from the Indiana Department of Correction (DOC) and Adopt-A-Highway remove hundreds of tons of rubbish and debris from the roadway edges in time for spring each year. In 2012, 15,812 bags of trash were collected from state highways and right-of-way areas.

INDOT encourages all Hoosiers to keep Indiana’s highways clean by following these simple tips:
