Four Winds: pointer only, by boundary

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

Pointer, by design: Four Winds Casino South Bend — opened January 16, 2018 on some 166 acres the United States took into trust for the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians on November 28, 2016, Indiana's first tribally owned and operated casino, later joined to the state's first tribal gaming compact of 2021 — stands in South Bend, on South Bend ground, under a South Bend local agreement. It is not Mishawaka's casino, Mishawaka was not a party to its agreements, and no Mishawaka casino or riverfront-gaming fight ever formed in this city's own record: the state's 1993 riverboat act confined its licenses to Lake Michigan and Ohio River counties, as this build's controversies file states. The casino item therefore stands COVERED where this build covers it — in Communities, which prints the Pokagon return to the county as a boundary entry, and City Controversies, which prints the casino test and its negative for Mishawaka — and the South Bend leg carries the city's side of the 2016 agreement at whole size. This article is the cross-reference and nothing more: Mishawaka's share of Four Winds is the share of a neighboring city four miles from the ground — its residents' employment and custom, undocumented at city level in any source reached — and this section does not absorb the compact, the payments or the casino's economics into Mishawaka's history.
