Four Winds Casino Resort Celebrates Its First Anniversary
The Four Winds Casino Resort will celebrate its first anniversary on
August 2, 2008. Since opening its doors one year ago, Four Winds
Casino Resort has established itself as a premier destination resort
for Midwest tourism. It has also provided more than $2.6 million in
project funding to local charities and municipalities in the New
Buffalo region through The Pokagon Fund, which is supported by two
percent of Four Winds electronic gaming revenue.
"We're very proud of the impact that the Four Winds Casino Resort has
had on the local community. This includes the creation of thousands
of jobs and donations to The Pokagon Fund, which is a non-profit
charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of the
residents in the New Buffalo region through the financial support of
local governments, non profits, charities and other organizations,"
said John Miller, Chairman, Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians.
"Donations from The Pokagon Fund have included the City of New
Buffalo and New Buffalo Township for improvements to public parks,
Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital for the expansion and rebuilding of its
emergency facilities, and the Hartford Community Center for support
of an after school tutoring program. These are only a few of the
nearly 70 projects funded to date."
"It's been a tremendous first year for the Four Winds Casino Resort,"
said Matt Harkness, General Manager, Four Winds Casino Resort. "Since
opening last year, Four Winds has awarded nearly $3 million to W Club
Members through our unique W Club Jackpots and promotions, and more
than $2.8 million through our wide-area progressive jackpots. Four
Winds is the only casino in the region to feature wide-area
progressive jackpots. We also have several promotions designed to
reward our loyal customers as we celebrate our first anniversary."
On Sunday, August 17 and Sunday, August 31, two lucky winners will
drive away in brand new Porsche® Boxsters™, each valued at more
than $60,000! Starting at 1:00 p.m. each drawing day, $10,000 in cash
