SHEPARD, Chief Justice.

Four Porter County residents sued the Indiana Gaming Commission to challenge the statute authorizing riverboat gambling in Indiana. The Porter Superior Court held that the statute violated the Indiana Constitution and enjoined the Commission from issuing licenses. The Commission initiated this direct appeal. We conclude the statute is constitutional and reverse the judgment of the trial court.
