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.

September 5, 2019

Indiana sports betting was launched at noon Sunday September 1. Only in-person betting at licensed locations are accepted at this time. Online and mobile betting will be available later in the football season.

The first three locations to accept sports wagers were Ameristar Casino in East Chicago, Hollywood Casino, and Indiana Grand. These casinos will soon be joined by five more licensed locations:

Sep 3 - Winner's Circle OTB in Indianapolis, IN
Sep 4 - Horseshoe Hammond in Hammond, IN
Sep 5 - Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, IN
Sep 6 - French Lick Casino in French Lick, IN
Sep 9 - Belterra Casino in Florence, IN

Addition locations have been licensed will launch soon although their dates have not been announced.

TBD - Harrah's Hoosier Park in Anderson
TBD - Horseshoe Southern Casino in Elizabeth
TBD - Rising Star Casino in Rising Star
TBD - Tropicana Evansville in Evansville
TBD - Winner's Circle OTB in Clarksville
TBD - Winner's Circle OTB in New Haven

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.

Four Winds Casino South Bend opens high limit room

October 7, 2019

Last week the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians announced the addition of a High Limit gaming room at their Four Winds Casino in South Bend.

Four Winds South Bend published a press release on Sep 27:

There are 30 high limit games that offer a wide range of betting options. The high limit area includes a private jackpot processing area along with popular games such as Double Diamonds, Triple Stars, Triple Butterfly 7's, Dancing Drums, Eagle Bucks, and Crystal Star Deluxe.

The new high limit room is located off the casino floor in the space previously occupied by the Outfitters Gift Shop.

Four Winds South Bend is also taking steps to add sports betting and to expand other gaming options by negotiating a gaming compact with the State of Indiana. That process is in its early stages and if successful could happen as soon as 2020.

Four Winds South Bend will add 23-story hotel tower

September 14, 2019

Rendering of future hotel at Four Winds South Bend

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians will build a 23-story hotel tower at their Four Winds Casino in South Bend, IN. It will be the largest hotel in the Michiana area of northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan.

The new hotel will be built adjacent to the casino and offer 317 rooms, including 83 suites. Amenities will include penthouse suites, spa, lounge, bar and grille, roof top swimming pool, view terraces, ballroom, convention area and meeting space.

The hotel project was announced last Wednesday by tribal leaders, casino management and the Pokagon Gaming Authority, which oversees the management and operations of the tribe's gaming enterprises.

Construction will begin later this year and take two years to complete.

Four Winds South Bend seeks to add table games, sportsbook

September 2, 2019

Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, owners of Four Winds Casino South Bend, would like to change the casino's gaming from Class II to Class III. The casino currently offers bingo-type slot machines and live poker where players win against other players rather than the house. Class III gaming would allow Vegas-style slot machines and table games, such as blackjack, baccarat, craps and roulette.

Their tribal chairman, Matthew Wesaw, has contacted Gov. Eric Holcomb to express this interest and to request they renegotiate the gaming compact between the tribe and the state.

It is reported the governor is interested in the idea and recognizes the revenue potential for the state. Four Winds currently pays nothing to the state as a Class II casino. The casino pays the city of South Bend 2% of its annual revenues up to $1 million.

The governor is expected to create a committee to negotiate the new gaming compact. The committee will likely be headed by Sara Tait, executive director of the Indiana Gaming Commission. A new compact would also have to be ratified by General Assembly and approved by the U.S. Department of Interior.

Pokagon Band of Potawatomi own three Class III casinos in Michigan where they pay the state 6% of net gaming revenues and pay 2% to the local governments.

Four winds opens poker room

September 04, 2018

The Four Winds South Bend Casino has opened the new live poker room. The room had a soft opening during Labor Day weekend.

There are 10 poker tables that offer live gaming. Video poker was already offered at the casino.

Guests had requested a live poker room be added to the casino. The announcement that the casino would develop the poker room was made two months ago.

There are no plans at this time to add blackjack or other table games. This is due to the gaming license that was granted to the casino. It is a Class II casino. Therefore, games where visitor bet against the house are not allowed.

The Four Winds South Bend Casino is owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi.

Four Winds South Bend to add live poker room

July 10, 2018

On Tuesday plans were announced for the addition of a new gaming room that will offer live poker. The casino currently offers bingo type electronic gaming machines.

The room will offer 10 tables. It will be located in the casino's northwest corner at the current slot machine location. Up to nine players can be accommodated at each poker table.

Construction is scheduled to begin next week. It is estimated that by Labor Day the new room will be completed.

Games to be offered are $1 to $3 pot Limit Omaha, $1 to $2 No-Limit Texas Hold 'em, $3 to $6 Limit Hold 'em, and $2 to $5 No Limit Hold 'em.

No other plans for additional live dealer games have been announced.

Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the Four Winds South Bend is classified as a Class II gaming facility. This means that special permission would need to be given before the casino could offer games like baccarat or blackjack where players bet against the house.

Poker is considered a different type of game since players are playing against other players.

The Four Winds South Bend currently offers 1,800 games. Bets range from a penny to $25.

There are also five dining options. Three bars. The Four Winds Outfitters offers gift shopping.

The reason behind the addition of the new room is to offer a different amenity to their guests. Visitors have been requesting the addition of poker.

Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians own the Four Winds South Bend.

Two percent of the casinos net winnings will be paid to South Bend. The city has been guaranteed a minimum of $1 million in payments a year. Of that money the city's common council will receive 1 percent. The redevelopment commission for the city will receive the rest.

Community projects and organizations will receive $5 million over 3 years.

Possible future plans include a 500 room hotel that will be 18 stories. There could also be a nightclub and center for events.

Over 300 construction jobs and 1,200 casino jobs have been created by the project.
