Pokagon Band distributes more than $7M in casino revenues

Thursday, October 10, 2013  

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians shared more than $7 million in gaming revenues with local communities in Michigan.

The biggest chunk -- around $6 million -- went to communities affected by the Four Winds Casino. That's the tribes largest facility and biggest money generator.

Another $1.1 million went to communities near the Four Winds in Hartford. Finally, about $183,000 came from the tribe's newest, and smallest, facility in Dowagiac, which opened in April.

As part of its Class III gaming compact, the tribe shares 2 percent of electronic gaming revenues with the communities.
