Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort announced Tuesday a new partnership with Kambi Group and GAN to extend its reach into the online gaming and sports betting industries, by means of the launch of an online  “Eagle Casino & Sports” platform in early 2022. This will allow users to play online games and to access a sportsbook. Games that will be available online will include both slots and table games. 

Kambi will be the multi-channel sportsbook partner for the project, while GAN will provide a platform for the integration of online games and the sportsbook. “Together they will provide a great experience for players”, Soaring Eagle said in a statement. 

In a press release, Kambi Group spoke about the terms of the deal, and explained that the Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises will integrate its sportsbook platform for on-property rollouts at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel, in addition to launching the online sportsbook.
