Hiring half done, interiors, landscaping on track for fall opening of Ho-Chunk Casino in Beloit
Summary
The Ho-Chunk Gaming Casino in Beloit is on schedule for a late September/early October opening, with hiring roughly half complete and interior work in the testing and balancing phase. Project leaders Collin Price and Kevin Day highlighted that the casino’s HVAC systems are being tested, while the Ho‑Chunk Nation is installing technology and security. Gaming stations will follow once security cameras are live, and gaming machines will arrive after full building security is achieved. The casino is part of a larger $705 million development that includes an 18‑story hotel, 310 rooms, and a 76,000‑sq‑ft convention center, slated for completion in 2027. Ho‑Chunk expects to employ 1,500 people at the site, with 800 needed for the casino launch and 400 already hired. A hiring event is scheduled for August 4‑6 at Beloit College Library.
