Mark Mason, of Shelbyville, has been named director of charity gaming for the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC).           

Mason had been assistant director of charity gaming for nearly six years. His promotion follows the retirement of Diane Freeman after her 40 years of employment in state government positions.

Prior to his position with the IGC, Mason spent more than a decade managing security and regulatory affairs for Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg and its parent company, Penn National Gaming. It was a position he accepted after retiring from a law enforcement career with the Indiana State Police that spanned more than 25 years, taking him from the rank of Trooper to Major.

An article in last month’s publication of Indiana Gaming Insight highlighted Freeman’s retirement: “Freeman had been the only person ever in charge of implementing and monitoring charity gaming for the State, having assumed the regulatory role upon the legalization of charity gaming in the early 1990s when she was working for the Department of Revenue.”
