Located just a bit north of Madison, the Ho-Chunk Casino & Bingo is one of the largest gaming places in Wisconsin due to its location just of Interstate 94 and also because it is in the Wisconsin Dells tourism area, where people from all over Wisconsin and Northern Illinois have always flocked to. There are 4 types of Ho Chunk cards I know of, as I show here. This place used to be the Ho-Chunk Golden Nickel Casino, but I am pretty sure no cards were issued before the name was changed.All the cards have blue-green fronts with with a brown lettered Ho-Chunk Casino logo in a box in the first two versions (as shown here) and a rainbow colored Ho-Chunk Casino & Bingo in the later versions as shown in the next posting). The first type was a punch card, the second on were magnetic strip types. The text on the back of types one, two, four and six ends "1-800-Ho-Chunk" while type five has "1-800-746-2486." There is a 3rd type I do not have, with the magnetic strip on the bottom of the reverse.
