The Michigan Gaming Control Board on Friday announced that Soaring Eagle Gaming, the Saginaw Chippewa tribe’s gaming arm, will launch internet gaming and sports betting as the state’s 15th licensed operator.
Operating under the brand name Eagle Casino and Sports, Soaring Eagle Gaming partnered with platform provider GAN. Both have met Michigan’s regulatory requirements for licensing.
“Michigan now has a full complement of 15 internet gaming and sports betting providers with the authorization of Eagle Casino and Sports,” Henry Williams, executive director of the Michigan Gaming Control Board, said in a statement.
“All of Michigan’s federally recognized tribes are offering internet gaming and sports betting. I congratulate the Saginaw Chippewa tribe as they expand their gaming offerings.”
Michigan launched internet gaming and sports betting with 10 operators on Jan. 22, 2021. Licenses are limited to the commercial and tribal casinos in Michigan.

February internet gaming gross receipts were a Michigan record $122.78 million, exceeding the previous record of $121.8 million set in December 2021.
