Gun Lake Casino nets Michigan online sports betting approval
Parx Interactive-powered brand follows igaming with sports betting following Michigan Gaming Control Board green light
Michigan’s Gun Lake Casino has received regulatory approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board to launch online sports betting in the Great Lakes State.
The Gun Lake Tribe of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan previously received approval to launch internet casino gaming on April 23.
Gun Lake’s online casino and sports betting operations currently operate under the Gun Lake/Parx brand, which is powered by Rush Street Interactive’s (RSI) Parx Interactive subsidiary.
The offering will sit on RSI’s CASINO4FUN platform, which provides a range of FTP slots, table games, live dealer games, and a sportsbook.
MGCB executive director Henry Williams said: “With Gun Lake Casino now fully authorized, 14 current Michigan operators and their platform providers may offer both internet casino gaming and online sports betting to patrons.
“The associated revenue payments will support responsible gaming, the First Responder Presumed Coverage Fund, K-12 education, and economic development,” Williams added.
Michigan has proved a popular market for a number of online gambling operators including FanDuel, which launched an expanded Michigan offering with the addition of live casino games provided by Evolution.
Evolution unveiled its third live casino studio in the state last month while Playtech opened its own Great Lakes State studio in March.
Other sports betting providers serving the Michigan market include Barstool Sports, BetMGM, and DraftKings.
