More casinos could be coming to West Michigan because of a new deal between a local tribe and the state.
The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, which owns the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, has a new gaming compact, allowing two smaller, satellite casinos to be added in Dowagiac and Hartford.
24 Hour News 8 uncovered a document that shows in 1999 the tribe had Hartford and Benton Harbor as backups in case New Buffalo didn't work. If Hartford was selected, then the tribe was planning to put in 800 slot machines and 35 gaming tables.
