Southland casino tentative set to open Nov. 11, Homewood mayor says

A south suburban casino is tentatively set to open in a month, pending final state approval, according to Homewood Mayor Rich Hofeld. Hofeld said he was told by Wind Creek Hospitality officials that Nov. 11 is the planned open, but is contingent on final approval from the Illinois Gaming Board. “We are eagerly awaiting,” Hofeld said. Wind Creek Chicago Southland is southwest of the interchange of Interstate 80 and Halsted Street, with the 75,000-square-foot casino on property within East Hazel Crest and parking garages on adjacent land in Homewood. In December 2021, Wind Creek won preliminary approval from the state to build and operate the casino, part of state legislation expanding casino gambling in Illinois. Wind Creek is a subsidiary of PCI Gaming Authority Inc., which manages 10 casinos and other gambling properties on behalf of the Alabama-based Poarch Band of Creek Indians. “It will be a showplace,” Hofeld said.
