The Kewadin Casinos are a set of casinos located in the US state of Michigan. The casinos are owned by the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The primary property is located in Sault Ste. Marie, with additional locations in Christmas, Hessel, Manistique, and St. Ignace.
In 1984, the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians Board of Directors voted to open Kewadin Casinos.
Kewadin Casinos opened its Sault Ste. Marie property in November 1985, originally as a one-room blackjack house.
In 1987, Kewadin Casinos opened Kewadin Shores Casino–St. Ignace.
In 1994, Kewadin Casinos opened casinos in Christmas, Kewadin Casino–Hessel, and Manistique.
The Tribe previously owned a majority interest in Greektown Casino Hotel in Detroit. However, the casino did not operate under the Kewadin name.
On January 19, 2012, Kewadin Casinos and Mayor of Lansing, Virgil Bernero, announced plans for a $245 million casino to be built in Downtown Lansing's entertainment district. Plans call for the opening of a temporary casino until a 125,000 square feet (11,600 m2) facility was completed on land owned by the City of Lansing to be purchased by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The proposed urban modern-themed casino would be located at Michigan Avenue and Cedar Street, adjacent to the Lansing Center, and include up to 3,000 slot machines, 48 table games, bars, and restaurants. The plan was approved by the Lansing City Council on March 19, 2012, and the Tribe in May 2012.
