"Hartford is an area that is home to a large number of Pokagon Citizens and we are extremely proud to open a new Four Winds Casino here," said Matt Wesaw, chairman of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. "Four Winds Hartford has created approximately 400 new jobs within the casino in addition to the hundreds of jobs that were created during construction. We look forward to welcoming area residents to our new facility," Wesaw said." Get the Story:
