South Bend is in St. Joseph County in northern Indiana, approximately 90 miles east of Chicago via I-90 and US-31 and 10 miles south of the Michigan border. The Prairie Avenue address is in southwestern South Bend, accessible from US-20 and US-31. South Bend is the home of the University of Notre Dame — one of the most prominent college football programs in the country — and the city draws significant visitor traffic on game weekends that overlaps with the casino’s customer base.

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is a federally recognized tribe with reservation and trust lands in southwestern Michigan and northwestern Indiana. The Pokagon Band also operates Four Winds New Buffalo (Michigan) and Four Winds Hartford (Michigan) under a separate Michigan tribal-state compact. The South Bend operation in Indiana runs under the Indiana Gaming Commission’s authority rather than a tribal-state compact — it operates as a commercial gaming facility under Indiana licensing rather than under IGRA Class III compact authority.
