National Indian Gaming Association Chairman Ernie Stevens, Jr. We’re proud to cut this ribbon today for the first tribal casino in the state of Indiana and the fourth Four Winds property.” This ribbon cutting signifies the work of hundreds of people over the course of the past 13 months. Frank Freedman, chief operating officer at Four Winds Casinos, said, “This is an incredibly exciting time for all of us.
It’s the fourth Four Winds Casino-the other three are located in Michigan-and the first tribal casino in Indiana. The new Four Winds Casino South Bend in Indiana, owned by the Dowagiac, Michigan-based Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, opened January 16 in a ceremony featuring tribal drumming, presentation of flags and a ribbon cutting.
