Michigan’s options for brick-and-mortar sports gambling continue to expand.
Wednesday afternoon, the Island Resort & Casino in Harris, Mich., announced a partnership with Louisville-based gaming company Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) to open retail and online sportsbooks through BetAmerica, CDI’s mobile gaming platform.
“We are incredibly excited about our new partnership with BetAmerica,” said Kenneth Meshigaud, the casino’s tribal chairperson in a press release. “The BetAmerica sportsbook will expand upon our already compelling number of entertainment options, and provides another great reason for people to come and visit us up here on Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula.” Island is owned and operated by the Hannahville Indian Community.
