With the lack of sports action across the country it might seem like an odd time for a casino to open up a new sports book. However, Four Winds New Buffalo is still excited about the prospects of the recently legalized Michigan sports gambling industry.

The casino has put in place a total of 18 kiosks where sports bets can be placed in person and they have even developed an online platform to start your bets before you place them in person.

The first official bet at the casino was placed by Chicago Bears 85′ Super Bowl member Steve McMichael. He put $20 on the Bears to win the Super Bowl.
