On Monday, April 4th, Ascend Sportsbook will be officially launched at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, offering Michigan another retail sports betting option.

Just in time for Monday’s NCAA Tournament championship game, the sportsbook is set to open at the casino’s Ascend sports bar.

According to Kristina Griffus, the Director of iGaming and Sports Betting Operations at Soaring Eagle, Ascend Sportsbook is an ideal destination. It offers a fantastic sportsbook experience with an energetic game-day atmosphere, numerous TVs, and exceptional food and drinks.

The opening of Ascend Sportsbook will mark the thirteenth retail sportsbook to launch in the state.

Opening night plans at Ascend Sportsbook

To celebrate the launching of its sportsbook, Soaring Eagle is inviting prominent figures to grace the event.

This year’s championship game will feature the insightful analysis of Morris Peterson, Mateen Cleaves, and other distinguished members from Michigan State’s victorious 2000 NCAA championship team.

D.J. JP will be performing live music at the grand opening scheduled for 4 p.m.

The drink specials will feature Coors Light drafts for $1.75 and Coors Light bottles for $2.

If you place a 3+leg parlay at the sports betting window, Ascend is also providing a 50% off coupon for an appetizer.

Melinda Coffin, CEO of Soaring Eagle, stated that they have dedicated a significant amount of time to create a customer-centered offering that prioritizes genuine relationship building in the field of wagering. She expressed the team’s excitement and readiness to not just meet, but surpass all of your gaming expectations.

Online sportsbook and casino soon to come

Soaring Eagle is still the only casino that does not have an iGaming and online sportsbook platform, making it stand out from the rest.

However, that will soon change as well.

Soaring Eagle is getting closer to becoming the 15th online casino and sportsbook option in the state with the recent launch of Ascend Sportsbook.

The opening of Ascend on Monday marks the beginning of Soaring Eagle’s expansion into sports betting and iGaming throughout the state. This venture will also include the launch of the Eagle Casino & Sports mobile platform in the upcoming spring.
