Ho-Chunk Nation applies for a liquor license for its Beloit casino, with approval expected by October 5th.Summary
The Ho-Chunk Nation has applied for a Reserve Class “B” liquor license for its $705 million casino project in Beloit, with the earliest approval date being October 5 due to city council timelines. This follows past experiences where Ho-Chunk faced controversies in Madison but eventually received approvals. Industry sources note that alcohol sales typically represent 5% to 7% of casino revenue, serving as an incentive for gambling. The liquor license approval timeline suggests the casino will not open in September as previously reported, and the hotel and convention center are scheduled for 2027.
