South Bend Indian Casino

When the state legislature approved land-based casinos in 2015, it included a provision to approve an Indian casino in South Bend.

In April 2016 the South Bend city government approved a deal with the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians to build a $400 million casino in their town. An environment impact report was finished for federal review and accepted.

The key milestone to proceed with this casino project came in November 2016 when the Bureau Of Indian Affairs gave its approval. Their decision transfered 166 acres of Pokagon Band land into federal trust under the U.S. Interior Department and included federal approval to build a Class II gaming casino.

The federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) defines Class II gaming as gambling played against other players only and not the house. This includes electronic slot machines that play against other players. Slot machines that play against the house are Class III gaming.

For Class III gaming the Pokagon Band must negotiate a gaming compact with the State defining specific casino games and the money the casino will pay to the state. Federal review and approval of the compact is required.

The Pokagon Band has named their casino 'Four Winds Casino South Bend'. It is the first Native American casino in Indiana.

Four Winds Casino in South Bend cannot offer sports betting at this time because it requires a new tribe-state gaming compact. The state is considering a request from the casino to begin negotiations for a new compact.

Indiana passes sports betting and 2 new casinos

May 8, 2019

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed legislation authorizes sports betting including online gambling, liv-dealer table games at racetracks and construction of new casinos in Gary and Terre Haute.

Indiana is the ninth state to allow sports betting and the third this year. The first sports betting could start as soon as September 1. Minimum betting age is 21. Mobile devices that register with an state-licensed casino can place online bets.

Live-dealer table games will now be allowed at Harrah's Hoosier Park northeast of Indianapolis and Indiana Grand Racing & Casino in Shelbyville beginning Jan. 1, 2020.

The law allows Spectacle Entertainment, which owns two casino licenses in Gary, to replace the Majestic Star Casino on Lake Michigan with a $300 million casino along the Interstate 80/94 corridor in Gary. The second license would be returned to the state and issued for construction of a new casino in Terre Haute.

Indiana Gaming Agreement Passed by Legislature

TERRE HAUTE CASINO
One of the two Gary casino licenses owned by Spectacle Entertainment will be transferred to Vigo County if a voter referendum approves the move. Applicants for building a Terra Haute casino would have to invest $150 million to Vigo County for expenses and related amenities.

South Bend Casino Hotel

Indiana's newest casino, the Four Winds Casino in South Bend, opened its doors on Tuesday.

Casino In South Bend Indiana

The first tribal casino in Indiana is being run by the Pokagon band of Potawatomi Native Americans. The tribe also runs three other Four Winds casinos in Michigan: in New Buffalo, Hartford and Dowagiac.

The 175,000-square-foot South Bend location has 1,800 games, four restaurants, three bars, a coffee shop, a parking garage and a merchandise shop. It also has a Players Lounge for copper-level 'W' members, which boasts a complimentary buffet and contemporary decor.

If you take U.S. 31 north all the way to South Bend, it's about a 150-mile drive from Downtown Indianapolis. That'll get you to the casino in roughly two and a half hours.

Other casinos in Indiana have expressed concerns that this new casino will hurt their businesses. After a Four Winds opened just across the state border in New Buffalo in 2007, the Blue Chip Casino Hotel Spa in Michigan City, Ind., lost $58 million in revenue and cut 165 employees in just one year.

More: What Indiana's first tribal casino could mean for the state

Tribal casinos don't have to pay state taxes. The South Bend location is likely to not just drain more business from Blue Chip, but it also could cause Indiana to lose millions in casino tax revenue.

The South Bend location of Four Winds is expected to employ around 1,200 people.
