4PM

I'll be back from the casino at 4PM. Or

I'll come back from the casino at 4PM.

Are both useable? And is the difference in meaning very little?

Both are useable, and they mean essentially the same thing: that at 4:00 you'll be back home. The first could be modified to say " by 4:00" (perhaps earlier). The second indicates the time that you will actually arrive.
