Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit Opens Phase One with 1,300 Slot Machines and 33 Table Games

Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit has opened the first phase of its entertainment destination. The venue features 1,300 slot machines and 33 table games, marking the initial launch of the $705m project spanning 240,000 square feet.

As reported by G3 Newswire, the opening establishes core gaming operations ahead of further buildout. The current workforce stands at 600 staff.

Leadership on Community Investment

Bernice Twinn, Chief Financial Officer of Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit, said: “Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit represents an important investment in our community and in the future of the Ho-Chunk Nation. We are pleased to open our doors and provide a welcoming destination that supports employment, economic development, and long-term financial stability.”

Steve Abangan, Executive Manager of Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit, added: “We are proud to welcome guests to Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit and to share this important milestone with the Beloit community. This grand opening reflects the vision, dedication, and teamwork that brought this project to life. We look forward to creating memorable experiences for our guests while contributing to the continued growth of the region.”

Twinn and Abangan emphasized the project’s direct ties to employment and economic stability for the Ho-Chunk Nation and surrounding area.

Next Phase Timeline and Scale

The next phase is scheduled for next Autumn. It will add a hotel with 312 rooms and a 2,000-seat conference centre. The second phase will increase the workforce from 600 to 1,500.

The sequenced rollout confines initial operations to the gaming floor while preparing integrated hospitality and meeting facilities. This approach aligns with the scope outlined for the full development.
