Online gaming and sports betting launches in Four Winds Casino in Michigan

NEW BUFFALO, Mich. – The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi announced the approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board to launch online gaming and sports betting at the Four Winds Casinos on Monday.

Effective as of noon, a total of 12 casinos have state authorization to participate.

Online gaming and sports betting launched in Michigan in January and is expected to generate nearly $90 million in tax revenue in its first year alone.

Michiganders can begin playing here, participants must be 21 years or older and located in Michigan.

“COVID-19 has accelerated interest in providing online access and added convenience to customers across a variety of industries and gaming is no different,” said Matthew Wesaw, Tribal Council Chairman and CEO of the Pokagon Gaming Authority,  “The Pokagon Gaming Authority and our Casino Operations Team have been planning for the approval of online gaming and sports betting for quite some time and we are very pleased that we can now offer this new and exciting entertainment experience to our guests.”

Guests will be able to play a variety of games while simultaneously making the same sports bets online as they do inside Four Winds Casinos.
