Four Winds taps Chicago market

NEW BUFFALO, Michigan -- As reported by the Indiana Times: "Two months after opening in southwestern Michigan, Four Winds Casino Resort is reaching into the Chicago market for customers.

"A bus service got underway earlier this month shuttling gamblers from the Chicago south side and south suburban communities to the casino near New Buffalo.

"...The bus rides are free to riders who board on Chicago's South Side and Chinatown stops. Suburban riders pay a $10 fee but receive $10 in free-play.

"Four Winds, owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, opened Aug. 2 to become the first tribal casino in the Northwest Indiana market, and by September appeared to have cut into business at nearby Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City.
