that featured 2,200 seats. It was high-stakes bingo—something Milwaukee had not seen before. Based on the success of the bingo operation, the Tribe looked to further expand its offerings. On Nov. 1, 2000, a new 255,000 square foot facility was constructed around the existing bingo hall, which was then torn down. The new Casino featured a 500 seat theatre, 1,000 slot machines, 25 table games, a parking structure, 1,200 seat bingo hall, retail store and three restaurants. The name was changed to Potawatomi Bingo Casino in 1993 to reflect more gaming options. The Casino expanded again, reopening on June 11, 2008. Tripling the size of the Casino, the 730,000 sq. ft. space include two more restaurants and a food court, the introduction of Off-Track Betting, a major expansion of the parking structure along with a vehicular bridge off 16th Street, a centre bar and catering/banquet space. “Bingo has always been the cornerstone of Casino operations. The loyalty of these players continue to grow the Casino.” – Frank Fisher, Assistant Bingo Director.
