Capitalizing on that interest, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians plans to accommodate eager gamers from Michigan and surrounding states with the $410 million expansion of its Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>When Four Winds made its debut in 2007, it set a new standard for gaming destinations in the area. \u201cIt caused blue-chip casinos in Indiana to get refreshed,\u201d Eric T. Bush, administrative manager with the Michigan Gaming Control Board, told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. \u201cThe property presently features 135,000 square feet of gaming space, a 165-room hotel, four restaurants and retail options. The expansion plans calls for a new nine-story tower offering 250 additional guestrooms and a 1,600-seat entertainment complex that will take the property to a new level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michigan\u2019s casinos have to compete with gaming properties in the neighboring states of Illinois and Indiana, but Four Winds will be even better positioned to attract its share of the dice-rollers upon the anticipated summer 2012 completion of its project. \u201cFour Winds is more ritzy than some of the other tribal properties and can compete with the blue-chip casinos,\u201d Bush said. \u201cIt serves a demand for that style. Also, it offers more slots and table games and that meets a demand they have in that area. And as you see them start having live entertainment, Vegas-style entertainment, they will attract even more visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians plans to accommodate eager gamers from Michigan and surrounding states with the $410 million expansion of its Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1201,"featured_media":1004030693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,13,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004030692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-midwest","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
