Michigan Gaming Control Board Authorizes Pala Interactive as Latest to Launch Online Gambling

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has authorized the launch of another online gaming and sports betting operator.

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians — which operates three casinos under the Four Winds brand in Dowagiac, Hartford, and New Buffalo — and its platform provider, Pala Interactive LLC, join a group of other operators and platform providers the state agency has approved in recent weeks, since the two forms of gambling officially launched in the state last month.

“We welcome the addition of Four Winds Casinos and Pala Interactive to Michigan’s growing online gaming and sports wagering market. Their participation will generate revenue to support education, economic development and the Pokagon Band’s tribal community,” Richard Kalm, executive director at MGCB, said.

Four Winds will be the 11th operator to offer both online gaming and sports betting in the state.
