Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit Schedules Grand Opening on October 23, 2026 with 1,300 Slot Machines

Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit will celebrate its grand opening on October 23, 2026. The facility will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the start. The casino opens to the general public at 2:00 p.m.

The day’s events include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, guest speakers, a drum group, dancers, and live entertainment.

Gaming Mix and On-Site Amenities

The property launches with approximately 1,300 slot machines and 40 table games. Table offerings consist of Blackjack, Texas Hold’em, 3-Card Poker, Mississippi Stud, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em. Ancillary venues include Draft Picks Pub House, Black River Coffee Shop, Food Truck Alley, and a parking garage.

As reported by Indian Gaming, these elements form the core of the initial operation. Steven Abangan, Executive Manager, Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit, said: “We are proud to welcome guests to Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit and begin this new chapter in our community. This opening reflects our commitment to creating a premier entertainment destination while contributing to local economic growth and providing meaningful opportunities for the Beloit area. We look forward to serving our guests and becoming a valued part of the community.”

Hotel and Conference Center Timeline

An 18-floor hotel with 312 guest rooms and a 2,000-seat conference center are slated to open in fall 2027. The hotel will include a rooftop lounge, lobby bar, pool, and spa.

The staggered schedule places gaming online well before the hospitality additions arrive. This sequence matches the community and economic objectives stated for the Beloit area.
