Michigan sportsbooks and retail casinos are gearing up for the Big Game with parties and promotions for everyone to enjoy.

Fans can bet on the pro football championship not only online but at any of the Detroit casinos, too.

MotorCity Casino party

MotorCity Casino is hosting a “Big Game Football Party,” which is an invite-only occasion. Tailgate food and drinks are included at the party.

Fans can wager on the game at FanDuel inside the casino. The operator is also offering MI online sports betting bonuses and promotions.

For customers that claim the touchdown promotion on FanDuel Sportsbook, an anytime touchdown scorer that scores the first or last touchdown of the game could win you a share of $3 million for each category.

FanDuel laid out what happens if the same player scores the first and last touchdown of the game:

“If the player you used your Touchdown Sweepstakes Token on scores the First Touchdown of the game AND the Last Touchdown of the game, you will receive an equal share of $6,000,000 in bonus bets with other promotion participants who used their Touchdown Sweepstakes Token on that player.”

The operator is also offering a 30% profit boost on the game.

MGM Grand plans

MGM Grand Detroit is showing the game at its BetMGM Sportsbook lounge. A reservation for a leather seat costs $50. Guests can also bottle service in advance of the game.

Online, BetMGM Sportsbook is offering a “Pick A Football” promotion, which also benefits BetMGM Casino players. It is described as follows:

“Score a casino prize – up to a $5,000 Casino Bonus!”

“Place $10 in wagers on pro football (minimum -200 odds) to qualify for a Pick-a-Football prize.

“Access your Pick-A-Football offer in the Promotions tab, then choose a football to reveal your reward. Every pick wins!”

Hollywood Casino Greektown fun

Hollywood Casino at Greektown is displaying the Big Game inside its sports lounge with a 30-foot video wall.

The venue has a restaurant and bar, as well as Rock Bar on the lower level or the Great Pub Fare on the upper level.

Online promos

While fans can enjoy a fun time at a Detroit casino, online operators are providing plenty of fun, too. DraftKings Sportsbook is offering a live betting opportunity, which gives customers a chance to win a share of $5 million in prizes. This is how it works:

  • Each customer opts-in to receive a promo token.
  • Add a live bet to your slip & your qualifying token is automatically applied.
  • Place a live bet to earn one sweepstakes entry.
  • After each entry, a new token instantly reloads – so customers can keep earning entries with every live bet.
  • At the end of the game, prize winners will be randomly selected.

DraftKings is also offering a share of a $400,000 pot if a player you select to score a touchdown also scores the longest touchdown. Opt-in is required and only single bets are eligible.

In addition, customers can opt-in to earn a 30% profit boost on the game.

Fanatics Sportsbook is rolling out the following promos:

  • 100% moneyline boost (max bet $25)
  • 33% profit boost
  • 33% anytime touchdown boost
  • $10 no sweat bet

Caesars Sportsbook is going with:

  • Opt-in and place a $5+ same game parlay for a chance to win $60,000 in bonus bets.
  • Opt-in and place a $5+ same game parlay for a chance to win a share of $1 million if either team scores 50+ points.
