Caesars Entertainment announced it is taking over WynnBET\u2019s Michigan iGaming operations. This move is part of a broader strategy that includes securing a long-term market access agreement with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Through this deal, Caesars will gain access to the Tribe\u2019s iGaming skins, which will enable the company to introduce additional digital brands in Michigan.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made alongside Caesars\u2019 financial results<\/a> for the fourth quarter of 2023, which showed a slight increase in net revenues to $2.83 billion from $2.82 billion in the same quarter of the previous year, though this was a decrease from the third quarter\u2019s revenue of $3 billion.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, WynnBET customers in Michigan will be moved to Caesars\u2019 iGaming platform, a change that is pending regulatory approval. The deal between Wynn and Caesars involves non-cash considerations, which include the extinguishment, reduction, and assignment of certain contractual obligations relating to the businesses of both parties.<\/p>\n

Matt Sunderland, SVP & Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Entertainment, expressed the strategic importance of this acquisition, stating, \u201cAs we continue to grow our iGaming franchise, the assumption of WynnBET\u2019s iGaming operations in Michigan allows us to tap into a significant market and customer base, providing a crucial step forward in growing our digital products and offering players more ways to play.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The partnership with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, which operates five Kewadin Casinos across Michigan\u2019s Upper Peninsula, is a source of pride for both parties. Sunderland added, \u201cWe are honored to work with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and look forward to growing with them in Michigan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
