Pokagon Band finds receptive audience in plan for second casino
The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians presented plans for a second casino in Michigan. The tribe expects to open a smaller version of its Four Winds Casino in late 2011. The new facility will feature 500 sot machines, nine table games and a restaurant. "There is a demand for this type of entertainment out here,” Chairman Matt Wesaw told The Muskegon Chronicle. “It fills a need. This is a very exciting time.” People who attended the tribe's presentation were excited about the casino, especially the 250 to 300 permanent jobs that the facility is expected to create.
