Wisconsin: Ho-Chunk Nation opens $705 million casino in Beloit

The Ho-Chunk Nation has opened its long-awaited $705 million casino in Beloit, Wisconsin , after nearly three decades of planning, adding a major gaming and tourism development to the region. The casino, which opened on Friday, is expected to generate more than $150 million in annual net winnings. A portion of its gaming revenue will go to the city of Beloit, Rock County, and the state of Wisconsin. The city of Beloit was once part of the Ho-Chunk Nation's territory. The tribe began the process of buying back the land for the casino in 1992.
