Odawa Casino Resort is a Northern Michigan tribal casino and resort located near Petoskey, Michigan close to The Straits of Mackinac connecting the tips of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
The casino opened on June 20, 2007, replacing the Victories Casino operating in Petoskey since 2000. Like Victories Casino, Odawa Casino Resort is owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians.
The casino resort features a relatively small 137-room hotel and 50,000 square foot gaming floor with approximately 1,000 slot machines and 35 table games. There are three restaurants and a retail outlet on the property. Plus, a concert venue, lounge bar, and a nightclub that is being converted into a sportsbook set to open in May 2020.
In January 2020, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Gaming Authority inked a deal with global online gambling giant The Stars Group (TSG) giving the company first-skin market access for all its online gambling verticals in Michigan. This includes online and mobile sports betting, online casino, and online poker operations.
