Gun Lake Casino history

Gun Lake Casino opened in February 2011 despite construction delays. It was due to the legal battle surrounding the federal government’s decision to give the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians the land to build it on.

Lawsuits caused the delays, but after the casino opened, the casino never closed. In 2018, the last of any legal actions were dismissed.

The original casino featured more than 1,600 slot machines, 33 table games, a food court and a 225-seat cafe, along with a handful of bars, lounges and a live entertainment venue.

In 2017, Gun Lake Casino finished a $76 million expansion, almost doubling its size. The remodel included a buffet, high-limit gaming room and the Stage 131 entertainment lounge.

Ultimately, 73,000 square feet of space was added to the existing 83,000-square-foot facility. The casino features 2,050 electronic game machines and 42 table games. Gun Lake also features an employee dining room and lounge.

Gun Lake Casino had been managed by an affiliate of Las Vegas, Nevada-based Station Casinos and private investors from Michigan since it opened. But in 2018, the band took over. Its management contract with Station Casinos had come to an end.

In 2019, Gun Lake Casino announced plans to add another 72,000 square feet to the existing 156,000-square-foot facility. The expansion will include the addition of another 450 slot machines, 12 table games and a larger nonsmoking area.

In the meantime, Gun Lake Casino converted part of Stage 131 into the Stage 131 Sportsbook & Lounge at Gun Lake Casino, which opened in October 2020.

The band also entered into an agreement with Pennsylvania’s Parx Casino, providing the retail sportsbook operations on the property and an online and mobile sportsbook and online casino in Michigan. The online casino service launched in April 2021, with the online sports betting portion following in August 2021.

Parx Casino and software partner GAN have previously launched online gambling operations in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Gun Lake also announced plans in April 2021 to build a 250-room hotel and resort on the property, along with a six-story Aquadome. The Aquadome will feature three pools and be able to convert into a concert venue. Gun Lake broke ground on the expansion on May 19, 2022. Plans call for the expansion project to be completed by March 2025.
