Celebrations! Every Saturday things will heat up with hot seat draws every 20 minutes between 2:00 p.m. and 10 p.m. for the chance to win $200 in cash. One lucky patron will also walk away with a $5,000 cash grand prize every Saturday.

Saturdays just keep getting better! On Saturday, Nov. 14 we will be celebrating our 30th Anniversary with cake, champagne and hors d'oeuvres! The first customers to come in and register for the promotion will receive a pearl trinket in honor of the casino's pearl anniversary.

Kewadin Casino started as a vision—as a dream to provide better housing, medical care and job opportunities for tribal members. Now, 30 years later, that dream has grown into a successful enterprise that has paid off in many unforeseen ways.

The casino's success has provided funds to expand the tribe's business holdings from one casino to five and take ownership of multiple non-gaming enterprises. The casinos have brought year-round tourism to an area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula that was once only a summer destination, contributed millions to Michigan's economy and donated millions more.

When the casino first opened there was a lot of excitement as people were introduced to casino gaming. The local community has watched as Kewadin has evolved from a small blackjack room employing 80 people that opened in November 1986 to the five sites we have grown into today.

With over 42,000 members, the Sault Tribe is one of the nation's largest tribes and the largest in Michigan.

While the Sault Tribe's governmental headquarters are in Sault Ste. Marie, its service area extends across the U.P.'s seven easternmost counties. Its economic impact extends for hundreds of miles with landholdings, businesses, housing and other service centers throughout the U.P. and business interests throughout the state.

A lot has happened over the past 30 years—growth, technology, improvements to tribal services, and team members have all contributed to the casinos' success.
