The tribe last year announced plans for a $100 million renovation that includes adding 1,800 slot machines, a new bar and a new restaurant and room for high-limit gamblers with a craft bar, a kitchen featuring a brick oven, and a stage for live performances. The Potawatomi are preparing to deal with competing casinos opening in downtown Chicago Waukegan, Illinois and Beloit. The tribe also is required to pay the state $20 million as part of its gaming compact. Along the way this growth has translated into expanded entertainment and dining offerings, greater engagement in the community and more opportunities for team members.

The net win doesn’t include revenue generated by the casino’s restaurants, concerts and hotel. Physically, Potawatomi Casino Hotel has implemented three major expansions: one in 2000, one in 2008, and most recently, the addition of a 150-million hotel in 2014. That compares with $4.4 million to each entity in 2021. The tribe paid about $5.9 million to each government entity for the year that ended June 30. Wisconsin tribes' casino revenue is confidential, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was able to calculate the figures, since the Potawatomi pay the city and county of Milwaukee 1.5% of its net win. MILWAUKEE (AP) - Gamblers lost at least $415 million at the Forest County Potawatomi casino in Milwaukee over the last fiscal year, about 1.7% more than they lost the previous year.
