INDIANAPOLIS - Gov. Mitch Daniels on Friday discounted the idea of tax restructuring or bailouts for Indiana's casino industry while remaining open to the idea of new land-based casinos in the state within the existing license structure.

He was reacting to news that Ohio voted for four land-based casinos this week, and the detriment it could have on state coffers.

"One - I'm not very worried. And two - I'm against any expansion," Daniels said.
