(South Bend, IN) - Four Winds Casino in South Bend has raised the stakes on its gambling offerings.

On Thursday the casino cut the ribbon on an expanded gaming floor, which now boasts Class III gaming tables and high-limit slots.  Blackjack and roulette are available now, as well as video poker and even sports betting.

The expansion is part of a deal struck with the state over a year ago to upgrade its offerings. In return, Four Winds will kick back 8% of new revenues to the state and 2% to St. Joseph County.

With the addition of Class III gaming and a new 23-story hotel tower, the casino hopes to add up to 400 new jobs.
