BELOIT, Wis. (WTVO) — The Ho-Chunk Nation has officially rezoned the new Ho-Chunk Casino and Resort from a general manufacturing district to a planned unit development district on Wednesday.

Plans for the project include a $405 million casino, convention, and 18-story hotel to be built at the southeast corner of Willowbrook and Colley roads between Willowbrook Road and Interstate 39-90.

The Beloit Casino will house between 1,500 and 1,800 gaming machines and 44 gaming tables, including blackjack and roulette.

Sports betting will be available through an agreement between the Ho-Chunk Nation and the State of Wisconsin.

The casino project won approval from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2020, and the plan was approved by Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers in 2021.

The Ho-Chunk Nation’s development is expected to bring 1,500 jobs to the City of Beloit.

The Beloit Casino will be located about 19 miles north of Rockford’s Hard Rock Casino along Interstate 90.

This casino, along with the Hard Rock casino in Rockford, will be a boom to both local economies as well as the entire region.
