Another major entertainment center is shutting operations down in accordance with national recommendations. This time it is the Four Winds Casino operations in Michigan’s Great Southwest and Northern Indiana.
Here is the message delivered this evening from the Pokagon Band regarding the closure:
In consideration of recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and requests from both federal and state governments to help prevent the spread and minimize the potential impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Pokagon Gaming Authority has decided to close all of its Four Winds Casino locations in Michigan and Indiana beginning at 3 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, March 17. The timeframe of the closure is until Monday, March 30, pending reevaluation at the end of the closure period. Employees will continue to be compensated during the closure.
The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians’ main administrative offices are located in Dowagiac, with a satellite office in South Bend. In 2007, they opened Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo, followed by Four Winds Hartford in 2011, Four Winds Dowagiac in 2013 and Four Winds South Bend in January 2018. All will remain closed until March 30th at the earliest.
