After a months-long advertising blitz, Wind Creek Casino opened for business Tuesday to a capacity crowd of 3,000 visitors, who kept the resort's bingo machines busy and restaurants full, managers said.
"We had a $15,000 winner within the first 15 minutes," said Brent Pinkston, vice president of marketing for PCI Gaming. "It has been a crazy day here."
Parking lots were jammed with license plates from northern Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas and even Illinois. Pinkston said the crowd overflowed parking lots most of the day, with many first-time visitors to the bingo operation at Interstate 65's exit 57.

On Tuesday, the bells and lights on the 1,600 electronic bingo games housed on the ground floor of the 17-story resort will begin ringing and flashing, and some of the Vegas-type luxuries will be available for customers.
"The Tribe is extremely excited with the level of gaming experience that we are going to be able to provide to our current customers and to the new customers we want to attract to our Wind Creek property," Creek Indian Enterprises President and CEO Tim Martin said. "At the same time, we certainly want to thank the patrons, as well as the many employees, that worked with us with Poarch Creek Bingo Palace and as it evolved into the Creek Entertainment Center. We're excited about our future and what we're going to be able to provide to our new customers, but we're also appreciative and thankful of both the customers and the employees that have helped us evolve to the level of gaming that we are bringing to the Gulf Coast."

To make sure drivers don't miss the casino exit, a 65-foot-high electronic sign will beckon them to the site, which tribal leaders hope will gain a reputation as a destination resort.
The casino is to be filled with 1,600 electronic bingo games in halls enlivened by the flashing lights and ringing bells of a Las Vegas-style gambling palace.
