Odawa Casino Resort is a tribal casino, hotel and entertainment destination in Petoskey, Michigan, owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. The Northern Michigan property offers approximately 1,000 slot machines, table games, poker, dining, live entertainment and a 137-room hotel. A second Odawa Casino in Mackinaw City offers more than 200 slot machines but does not have table games.

Odawa Casino Resort’s online gambling partnerships

The owners of the Odawa Casino Resort were among the first tribal entities to enter the Michigan online gambling market, soon after new legislation opened the door to multiple forms of online gambling in Michigan.

The casino’s owner and operator, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Gaming Authority, initially signed a deal with global online gambling giant The Stars Group (TSG) in January 2020 to ensure this. Under that deal, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians granted TSG first-skin market access for all its online gambling in Michigan, making the tribe the retail partner for both the PokerStars Casino and PokerStars online poker site in Michigan.

However, when PokerStars exited Michigan in early 2026, the license was taken over by bet365, which launched bet365 Casino Michigan and bet365 Sportsbook Michigan in mid-April 2026, with the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians as its partner for both.
