Soaring Eagle has ultimately discovered its ideal partner for sports betting and internet gaming.

On Monday, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe declared its collaboration with GAN to facilitate its online sports betting and online casino operations.

The tribe is the final among 15 state casino operators to reveal their collaboration, operating the largest casino in the state, Soaring Eagle Casino Resort in Mount Pleasant, along with Saganing Eagles Landing in Standish.

GAN of the United Kingdom has expanded its Michigan partnerships to a total of four, along with nine clients in the United States, as stated in a recent deal announcement.

Soaring Eagle has announced its intention to introduce its own line of online products, entering the Michigan market which has witnessed a significant surge in internet gaming revenue, surpassing $100 million in the past two months alone. Additionally, since its launch on January 22, the market has recorded over $1 billion in online sports bets.

Despite the tribe’s initial plan to open the rebranded Ascend Sports Book & Lounge at Soaring Eagle in mid-January, it has not been launched yet.

The Saganing Eagles Landing and The Slot Palace and Bingo Hall were intended to have satellite sports betting locations, conveniently situated across the street from Soaring Eagle.

In January, a total of 11 online brands for casinos and sports betting were introduced in Michigan. However, two prominent casino operators, Soaring Eagle and FireKeepers in Battle Creek, have yet to launch their own online brands among the 15 operators in the state.

Approval for launch from the Michigan Gaming Control Board is still required by the brands.

Soaring Eagle’s Chief Operating Officer, David Charles, expressed excitement about utilizing GAN’s well-established Michigan platform capability and expertise to introduce an exhilarating online casino and sportsbook. This new venture will provide a fresh means of engaging with their patrons. Charles acknowledged GAN’s track record of success and their efficient launch of platforms in Michigan. He eagerly anticipates collaborating with GAN and building a shared future together.
