The new casino will occupy an existing community center building on tribe-owned land in Benzonia. The renovation project is currently underway with plans to install Class II slot machines, a limited food service, and beer and wine sales. The liquor license application is submitted and pending approval. The number of slot machines has not been disclosed. There will be no table games.
