' The anticipation has been building as we’ve been focused on completing the interior features and finishes. Frank Freedman, Four Winds Casinos' chief operating officer, said that a stay at Four Winds South Bend is “perfect” for entertainment or business, and that everyone who visits the property will enjoy “a first-class experience.” The amenity will open to the general public after a soft opening is held for members of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. 'We can’t wait for our Pokagon citizens, as well as every guest, to experience the new facility.' 'March 1 will mark the culmination of a nearly two and a half year-journey to realize our vision to expand Four Winds South Bend,' said Rebecca Richards, Pokagon tribal chairwoman, as reported by NCW Life. The property offers to its patrons some 1,900 slot machines - more than any of the 12 commercial casinos in the state - along with video poker and a variety of table games. The new amenity is directly connected to Indiana's only tribal casino, which is owned and operated by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi. The third casino hotel in northern Indiana features 317 rooms, including 83 suites, as well as a spa, restaurant, conference center and an outdoor swimming pool on the third floor.

The 23-story tower is adjacent to the existing property and promises guests luxury amenities and “exceptional” views of its surroundings.
