Kambi Group plc, the world's trusted sports betting partner, has agreed a multi-channel sportsbook partnership with Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises, a leading tribal operator in the US state of Michigan.

Under the terms of the deal, Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises will integrate Kambi’s sportsbook platform for on-property rollouts at two of Michigan’s most popular casino properties, Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel, in addition to launching an online sportsbook.

Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises, which is owned and operated by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, will benefit from Kambi’s award-winning technology and sports betting services, including the Kambi kiosk, Bring Your Own Device technology and market-leading Bet Builder product.

The long-term agreement further strengthens Kambi’s strong relationship with tribal casino operators having previously agreed partnerships across multiple states.

Kristian Nylén, Kambi Chief Executive Officer, said: “A key part of Kambi's strategy has been to partner with market leaders and local heroes, and Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises certainly fulfils that criteria.

"Through its popular Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel properties, Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises has established a formidable brand and a large customer database in Michigan.

“At Kambi, we know what it takes to create a leading sportsbook product and we look forward to helping Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises deliver exciting sports betting experiences to its patrons."
