The expansion of Four Winds Casino South Bend is expected to create up to 400 new jobs and operators are preparing for what it hopes will be a large volume of people seeking employment.

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi’s Four Winds Casinos have opened a new recruitment center in South Bend to process applications, conduct interviews and hire individuals seeking to fill open positions at its South Bend site that is currently under renovation and a major expansion, which includes a 23-story hotel.

The expansion and renovation project is on track for an early 2023 completion. The tribe expects between 350 and 400 new jobs will be created.
