1. Making use of CrisisGo's smartphone and computer apps, Four Winds Casinos made sure their dispatch team, security shift managers, and company managers were all connected. By using CrisisGo's safety platform, Four Winds Casinos was able to: Establish safety measures for potential active shooter emergencies.
2. The Four Winds is a nice atmosphere. But, don't let that fool you! Four Winds, particularly South Bend, is THE TIGHTEST casino I've ever experienced. Payouts are NONEXISTENT! Years ago, it wasn't too bad, but they have changed big time! I would highly recommend you drive another 30 miles west to the Blue Chip in Michigan City. By FAR a better.

The compact is a first for Indiana, where Four Winds is the only tribal casino operating on federally designated land. Indiana’s other casinos are commercial operations that are licensed. Unbelievable Jackpots. At Four Winds New Buffalo, the excitement never stops. Whether you like to play penny slots or $100 machines, you’ll find more than 2,600 of your favorite slot machines including some of the area's biggest jackpots with progressives starting at $100,000!

“We market the positions, we market the companies, kind of sell the culture a little bit,” Brohman said. “Job seekers who are interested can sign up for a 15 minute phone interview. So they’re guaranteed a phone interview to talk to a hiringagent from that company.”

Brohman says this is not a situation where someone submits a resume and no one at the company ever sees it. Here, the applicants will talk directly with the company.

“Really, it’s just a first impression. Instead of meeting somebody face to face at a group interview or standing across the table at a mock interview, this is a little less intrusive.”
