The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians in Michigan will be opening its second gaming facility earlier than expected.

Just last month, the tribe said the casino would open in October. But now that's been pushed up to August 1.

"It is a good day to be a Pokagon," Chairman Matt Wesaw said at a press conference, WSBT-TV reported.

The 52,000-square-foot casino will feature 500 slot machines, nine table games, and a bar and restaurant. It will employ about 300 people.

The facility is about one-sixth the size of Four Winds Casino, which opened in August 2007.
