Any of you Wisconsin guys have a feeling if your governor will approve Beloit casino? I was going to invest in the hard rock casino in Rockford and I’m concerned their is room for both so close? Any insight is appreciated

The Ho-Chunk Nation received federal approval to build a casino in Beloit and now must get permission from Gov. Tony Evers. The city of Beloit announced the Bureau of Indian Affairs decision Thursday

I think Ever's will probably approve it , he needs anything he can get for economic development right now.

Ho-Chunk Madison was approved for years and built and the city of Madison would not deliver water and sewer lines to the building it sat for a few years before the tribe and the city could reach an agreement and they could get water and sewer.

Beloit would welcome another reason for Rockford to come spend more money in Beloit.

Rockford is full of little strip mall slot machine places they are the ones who stand to suffer if one or both casinos are built.

Do you think both can survive and be profitable if there are 2- 400 million dollar casino that are 20 miles apart

With the support given to the Democratic Party by Indian gaming I don't see any way that Evers doesn't wholeheartedly approve it. Money talks in Madison.

If the tribe wants a casino, the tribe gets a casino. It's that simple.

Ho Chunk Madison is 55 miles from Barraboo

Beloit is 45-50 miles from Madison HoChunk

Pottawatomie in Milwaukee is about 60 miles from Madison Ho Chunk

so while we don't typically see tribal casinos any closer than 50 miles from each other.

it is Possible that a Tribal and a non tribal could exist 20 miles apart with a few tolls in between and a border.

it is approximately a 20 minute drive from Janesville south to Beloit while being nearly a 40 minute drive form Janesvill north to madison

Beloit is only 35K however Janesvill is 62K with several nearby communities that put it closet to 90K for the area

Delavan is only 25 minutes up I43 from Beloit , if you start thinking about the Lake Geneva , Delavan , Elkhorn, are not much further at all. rainy day in Lake Geneva head to the Ho Chunk a 35 minute drive away.

even with out getting into the cross boarder population it could potentially survive on it's own.

if it could build a decent indoor music venue it could do very well , not much for indoor music venues in Janesville and Beloit currently. Not of any size while Madison has several that will hold hundreds of people or more.

If you guys want more casinos get out and support them.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Sounds like Minnesota.
