October 2000 – A three story, $120 million, 250,000-square foot expansion is completed.

February 1997 – For the first time, the property is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

1992 – The first slot machines are added, following the signing of first state gaming compact.

March 7, 1991 – Potawatomi Bingo opens as a 45,800-square foot building offering a 2,500-seat bingo hall, a parking lot that would hold 500 cars and approximately 300 team members.

Since 1991, the facility has undergone three major expansions and diversified its entertainment options to become one of the leading entertainment destinations in the country.Ĭontinual growth of the property has meant an increase in employment, increased contributions to the community, increased shared revenue payments to local governments and improved outlook for the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe. That level of enthusiasm has continued for decades and the Casino now welcomes more than 6 million guests annually. A capacity crowd arrived to welcome this new entertainment venue to the community. On March 7, 1991, the then-Potawatomi Bingo opened its doors for the first time. The development was Potawatomi Casino Hotel (then Potawatomi Bingo), the first off-reservation casino in the country and still the only one of its kind in the state of Wisconsin. This remained a desolate area until the Forest County Potawatomi regained some of this territory and became the first to invest in refurbishing the land, bringing new development to the Menomonee Valley. Many years later the Valley served as an industrial center, and later became blighted and deteriorated into toxic brown fields. At that time, the Valley flourished with natural resources and provided a bounty for many Native American tribes.
