(New Buffalo, MI) - The city of New Buffalo won’t be hurt much from casinos

being shut down right now.

That’s because the city receives only about 225 thousand dollars

a year from Four Winds and this year’s payment from

last year’s revenue has already come in, said City Manager David Richards.

Richards said any loss in casino money would be reflected in next year’s

Draw.

Indian casinos don’t have to give a percentage of their take to governments.

It’s more of a good faith offering nowhere near the amount casinos

in the private sector must contribute.
