Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort Poker Room Review
Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort is the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s flagship property in Mount Pleasant, and it’s the biggest casino in this group by a wide margin: a 210,000-square-foot gaming floor, 516 hotel rooms, and close to a dozen dining venues under one roof. If Saganing Eagles Landing, the tribe’s smaller property in Standish, is the quick stop, Soaring Eagle is the destination trip. The gaming floor is 18 and up. Sports betting, in person or through the tribe’s Eagle Casino & Sports app, requires you to be 21. In 2022, Soaring Eagle finalized plans to enter Michigan’s online gambling and sports betting markets, the same year its retail Ascend Sportsbook opened.
