Indiana Casino Says It's Building A Poker Room Thanks To High Demand From GuestsFour Winds South Bend Constructing A 10-Table Room |

A tribal casino that opened in South Bend, Indiana early this year is building a poker room thanks to the public clamoring for it.
According to a press release from the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, Four Winds Casino South Bend will have a 10-table poker room sometime this fall, possibly in time for the Labor Day weekend.
The tribe said that its games will include $1-$2 and $2-$5 no-limit hold’em, $3-$6 limit hold’em and $1-$3 pot-limit Omaha, all of which are pretty standard for regional poker rooms.
“Guests have absolutely been asking for poker since we first announced our opening,” said Frank Freedman, Chief Operating Officer of Four Winds Casinos. “Now that we’re established, we are eager to begin construction on what will be a really exciting, well-rounded poker room. For fans of the game, it will offer something for everyone.”
Whenever the Four Winds poker room opens, it will bring the number of Indiana poker rooms to eight. The largest room in the state belongs to the Chicago-area Horseshoe Hammond casino, home to 34 poker tables. That poker room generated $700,000 in rake in June, according to the latest state figures.
In addition to the South Bend casino, the tribe operates several casinos in Michigan.
