The Winnebago Tribe is opening a Class II casino on its reservation in Nebraska tomorrow.
The casino will have 39 electronic bingo machines. Lance Morgan, CEO of HoChunk Inc., the tribe's economic development arm, said the facility could expand if slot machines are legalized.
The machines being installed were ruled Class II by the National Indian Gaming Commission, tribal chairman John Blackhawk said in a letter to state Gov. Mike Johanns (R).
Ho-Chunk Inc. owns Indianz.Com and AllNative.Com.
