Four Winds Casino Details
The Four Winds Casino is operated in New Buffalo, Michigan, by the Potawotomi Native American Indian Tribe. Combined with its satellite casinos in Hartford and Dowagiac, the Four Winds operation is one of the top 10 casinos by size in the United States. Unfortunately, the poker room has now been closed due to a management decision to focus on other games. As an independent operation, the Four Winds runs the W Club players reward scheme. With comps earned by playing casino games, you can redeem your points as dining credit for all casino restaurants, or take them to the New Buffalo branch Promenade Shop or Four Winds Outfitters. These outlets dispense gift items and stylish Four Winds clothing merchandise.
Before closing abruptly in 2012, the Four Winds spread a futuristic poker offering. The center of the room contained electronic poker tables with touch screens that allowed for fast play without a dealer. Also among the total of roughly 20 tables were several small heads-up tables. With one-on-one live cash game action a rarity, this novelty was seized upon by Michigan’s short-handed specialists. Tournaments ran twice daily in no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha, with small-stakes limit and no-limit hold’em flanking these events on the remaining cash tables. Several tables were permanently kept aside for sporadic sit-and-go action, which ran whenever enough demand could be shown to the floor staff. Satellites to major World Poker Tour events also ran consistently until the closure of the poker room, with many packages given away.

A tribal casino that opened in South Bend, Indiana early this year is building a poker room thanks to the public clamoring for it.
According to a press release from the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, Four Winds Casino South Bend will have a 10-table poker room sometime this fall, possibly in time for the Labor Day weekend.
Standard casino poker chip weight. There is a lot of confusion, and misinformation out there about the weight of real casino poker chips. When someone is looking to invest in a high quality set of poker chips, many times they want to try to get as close to the real thing as possible. Some like heavier chips, like some of the 14 gram sets, because they feel good and substantial and are readily available at good prices. Official Casino Poker Chip Weights. 11.5 grams IS NOT the standard weight of casino chips. Let me repeat that. 11.5 grams IS NOT the standard weight of casino chips. Neither is 13 grams. This is the single biggest misconception poker chip buyers have, and it’s hard to blame them with all the confusing information out there. Although there is no single standard weight, all official casino chips are between 8.5 and 10 grams. Authentic clay chips are usually between 9.5-10 grams and ceramic chips are close to 10 grams. Another misconception with poker chip weight is that heavier.
The tribe said that its games will include $1-$2 and $2-$5 no-limit hold’em, $3-$6 limit hold’em and $1-$3 pot-limit Omaha, all of which are pretty standard for regional poker rooms.
“Guests have absolutely been asking for poker since we first announced our opening,” said Frank Freedman, Chief Operating Officer of Four Winds Casinos. “Now that we’re established, we are eager to begin construction on what will be a really exciting, well-rounded poker room. For fans of the game, it will offer something for everyone.”
Whenever the Four Winds poker room opens, it will bring the number of Indiana poker rooms to eight. The largest room in the state belongs to the Chicago-area Horseshoe Hammond casino, home to 34 poker tables. That poker room generated $700,000 in rake in June, according to the latest state figures.
In addition to the South Bend casino, the tribe operates several casinos in Michigan.
