Only some casinos in Michigan allow for gambling at the age of 18. Detroit casinos, Gun Lake casino and Firekeepers casino require you to be 21 years old to gamble 2 months ago.

On the same day that the first tribal sportsbook launched in Michigan, another regional gambling brand moved into the state.

BetRivers, the first mobile sportsbook to launch last week in Illinois, is coming to the Great Lakes State.

On Monday, Little River Casino Resort in Manistee announced the partnership with Rush Street Interactive (RSI) in a press release. The Chicago company will operate a retail sportsbook and acquire online access from the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians.

Online gambling will launch sometime this year in Michigan after the rule-making process is complete.

BetRivers joins a competitive online market in Michigan

Rush Street launched the first Illinois retail sportsbook on March 9 at its flagship Rivers Casino in suburban Chicago near O’Hare Airport.

Two days later, Michigan was in the sports betting game, as Detroit’s casinos launched sportsbooks.

BetRivers will be joined in the Michigan market by online sports betting brands such as DraftKings, FanDuel, Fox Bet, Parx, PointsBet and William Hill.

BetRivers is also operating an online sportsbook in two other states.

“The successful track record of Rush Street Interactive as a provider of in-casino sportsbooks in Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois, was very significant to us when we chose them as our partner,” said Andrew Gentile, the general manager of Little River, in a statement.

“Rush Street’s ability to provide a road map of how they’ve enabled other land-based casinos to operate market-leading sportsbooks kept us from having to reinvent the wheel.”

The release mentioned BetRivers would launch online “as soon as Michigan regulators allow,” adding the retail sportsbook will launch in the early third quarter.

Rush Street up Lake Michigan shoreline to Manistee

Rush Street also operates two casinos in Pennsylvania and another in upstate New York.

The company provides the sportsbook operations and online platform for French Lick Resort in Indiana.

With Little River, Rush Street found a partner with a casino just up Lake Michigan toward Traverse City.

“The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians has built an outstanding reputation and we are thrilled they have chosen RSI to be a part of that tradition,” said Richard Schwartz, president of Rush Street, in the release.

“Being only a lakeshore away in Chicago, the Rush Street Interactive team views this partnership as an opportunity to help bring a property-wide lift to Little Rivers Casino Resort — from slots to tables to restaurants — thanks to the tremendous and growing popularity of sports wagering.

FireKeepers opens Michigan’s first tribal sportsbook

Also, on Monday, FireKeepers Casino in Battle Creek opened Dacey’s Sportsbook, the first tribal casino to open one in Michigan. FireKeepers partnered with Scientific Games for the launch.

FireKeepers is Michigan’s fourth sportsbook, joining the three Detroit casinos, which launched in mid-March, right before the coronaviruspandemic hit.

Little River currently has a branded River Rock Sportsbook and Grill, though the release did not mention that name.

No other launch dates planned for Michigan sportsbooks

The state’s largest tribal casino — Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant — has not yet announced its sports betting partnership or launch plans.

But several other of Michigan’s tribal casinos have announced partnerships for sportsbooks but no launch dates. They include:

• Bay Mills Casino in Brimleypartnered with DraftKings.
• Gun Lake Casino in Wayland partnered with Parx.
• Leelanau Sands and Turtle Creek casinos partnered with William Hill.
• Northern Waters Casino in Watersmeetpartnered with PointsBet.
• Odawa Casinos partnered with The Stars Group.

Online gambling coming later this year to Michigan

When Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed the expanded gambling laws in December, an early 2021 launch was expected.

However, Executive Director Richard Kalm of the Michigan Gaming Control Board said this month he’s “cautiously optimistic” about launching this year.

In addition, Sen. Adam Hollierintroduced a bill in the Michigan Senate last week to issue temporary licenses to online casino operators during the pandemic, provided they were licensed in other states.

The bill does not impact the launch of online sports betting.

FRUITPORT TWP. — Federal action expected tomorrow will move the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians one step closer to being able to develop a $180 million casino on land it owns in Muskegon Country.

On Friday, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a federal agency that operates within the U.S. Department of Interior, will announce plans to file a Final Environmental Impact Statement on the tribe’s request for the federal government to take into trust 60 acres of land at the former Great Lakes Downs horse track. The BIA’s announcement in the Federal Register then kicks off a 30-day public comment period, after which the government will issue a final decision in the application.

If the federal government approves and takes the land into trust for the tribe, the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians would then need to seek state approval for its casino plans.

For Larry Romanelli, the ogema or elected leader of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, the step marks a significant milestone in a process that’s drawn on for more than a decade.

“This was 80 percent of what had to be done — it’s huge in my opinion,” Romanelli told MiBiz. “When we started, we hoped for a process that was five to six years, and now we’re past 10. But now we’re at a point where we have more control over that as well.”

Romanelli envisions the remaining process to get a casino up and running will take three years at the longest, assuming the approval process moves ahead in the tribe’s favor. Under certain best-case circumstances, the tribe could also shorten that time frame, Romanelli said, declining to speculate on particulars of that scenario.

For the Environmental Impact Statement, the BIA considered the potential effects on the environment for the proposed casino development, ranging from land use, geology and water resources to agricultural, biological and cultural considerations.

The tribe purchased the horse track in 2008 to develop a second casino in addition to its resort complex north of Manistee. The proposed 69,000-square-foot Fruitport Township facility would include 1,700 slot machines, 35 table games, a 220-room hotel, and event and conference space, as well as dining and entertainment areas.

The Muskegon area is a part of the tribe’s ancestral lands and currently home to the largest population of tribal citizens in its service area, according to Tribal Council Speaker Ron Pete.

“A casino in Muskegon County will enable the Tribe to provide jobs, housing, health care, education and other services to our elders and youth,” Pete said in a statement. “It will also provide a very positive economic impact for the Muskegon community.”

The tribe expects the casino would create 1,000 to 1,500 jobs, as well as lead to ancillary job creation across the region. The tribe plans to fund the development internally.

Although American Indian tribes do not pay local or state taxes on trust lands, it expects the project could spur $15 million in state tax revenue, in addition to millions in local taxes.

“It’s not only about jobs and economic development, Muskegon has needed this for a while,” Romanelli said, citing a 90-percent local approval rate for the project since it was proposed. “It’s one of the biggest projects to hit Muskegon County in quite a while. It’s good news the region needs right now, and it’s a good shot in the arm that Muskegon County needs.”

In some ways, Romanelli said the timing of the process could prove beneficial for the casino project, which can now incorporate best practices around air filtration and spacing that have been learned during the pandemic.

He added that he’s been buoyed by the community’s support for the tribe and the casino project over the long process.

“We’ve been ready for a long time,” Romanelli said. “We’re absolutely ready for this now, and West Michigan is ready for this as well. It’s a long time coming, and we’re still not done yet.”
