About Lac Courte Oreilles Casino, Lodge & Convention Center

Lac Courte Oreilles Casino, Lodge & Convention Center was a tribal gaming and meetings property at 13767 W County Road B in Hayward, Wisconsin, owned by the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The venue is listed as closed in our directory; the tribe’s current gaming operation is the Sevenwinds Casino brand at sevenwindscasino.com, which carries the same address. Travelers searching for the original LCO Casino name typically arrive at the Sevenwinds successor. The Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Gaming holds regulatory authority over any active tribal gaming at the site.

At its peak, the property combined a 600-machine slot floor, 6 dealt table positions, and a 6-table poker room with hotel rooms and a convention center serving northwestern Wisconsin and the Hayward Lakes area. The lodge and convention component made the venue a regional driver for meetings and tournaments in a part of the state better known for fishing and the American Birkebeiner ski race. The closure entry in our directory reflects directory data with low confidence, so visitors are encouraged to confirm current operations directly with the tribe.

Games Previously Offered

The original gaming menu at LCO Casino was unusually deep for a property of its size. The 6-table pit covered Blackjack, single-deck Blackjack, double-deck Blackjack, American Roulette, and Craps. The 6-table poker room ran No-Limit Texas Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo, and tournament events, which is a rare combination for a rural northern Wisconsin venue. Electronic Keno, Slot machines, and Video Poker rounded out the electronic side, and the property ran a bingo program as well.

For poker players, Omaha Hi-Lo on a regularly scheduled basis at any northern Wisconsin tribal property was a meaningful draw. The closest peer for live poker today is the Potawatomi Hotel Casino room in Milwaukee, several hours south.

Amenities and Convention Programming

The property’s amenity profile combined a casino floor with hotel rooms, a convention center, and a restaurant, with a pool, gym, and golf access referenced in the broader Lac Courte Oreilles destination footprint. The combination made the venue a meetings destination for northwestern Wisconsin organizations. RV park access and on-site nightclub references appeared in the directory data, reflecting the broader resort positioning before closure.

★ Editorial note

A closed listing with a Sevenwinds successor

Our directory tracks Lac Courte Oreilles Casino, Lodge & Convention Center as a closed property. The Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa continues to run gaming at the Hayward location under the Sevenwinds Casino name, accessible via sevenwindscasino.com. If you are planning a visit, treat the historic LCO listing as a reference point and verify current floor counts, poker schedule, and lodging availability with Sevenwinds directly. Data confidence on this listing is low, so the gaming floor numbers below describe the property's historic spread rather than today's operation.
