The Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin has closed $610 million in senior secured credit facilities to finance the construction of its new casino resort in Beloit.

The financing supports the development of a $705 million casino resort, which will feature more than 1,500 slot machines, 40 table games, a 312-room hotel, three restaurants, a 2,000-seat convention center, a concert venue, and extensive parking facilities.

Construction began in October 2024, with the casino expected to open in September 2026. The hotel and convention center are slated to open the following year.

The project received approval from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2020, followed by state approval from Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers in 2021. Once complete, it will expand the Ho-Chunk Nation’s Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin brand, which currently operates six casinos across the state.
