The Las Vegas-based company revealed the news in its official press release from Wednesday.

Here, the company’s officials announced that the new business deal came after shortly after last month’s new legislation passage which will very soon allow each of the twenty-six casinos operating in the state of Michigan to provide their customers retail sports betting in addition to offering online casino games. One of the very first Michigan-based hotels to start working on its retail sports betting facilities was FireKeepers Casino and Hotel.

The FireKeepers Casino Hotel facility features a massive 236,000 square foot casino and hotel venue located in the state of Michigan in Emmett Charter Township between Marshall and Battle Creek. The facility is owned and managed by one of the federally-recognized tribes, the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi. The venue officially opened its doors back on the 5th of August 2009 just one year after the construction started.

Speaking of the venue’s construction, it was actually a joint venture between Clark Construction and Shingobee Builders. While the casino opened its doors in August of 2009, the hotel area alongside other additions officially opened in December of 2012. The hotel includes two hundred and forty-three rooms while other accommodations include six restaurants and a massive event center. The casino floor features almost three thousand slot games alongside seventy gaming tables as well as several poker and bespoke bingo rooms.

When it comes to the latest business agreement between FireKeepers Casino Hotel and Scientific Games Corporation, it will allow the casino and hotel to utilize Scientific Games’ modular OpenSports solution. As soon as this solution is utilized within the facility, it will offer its customers the amazing chance to place real-money bets on an impressive assortment of popular sporting events.
