History[edit]
The Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians Board of Directors approved the opening of a casino in 1984.[1][3] The Kewadin Casino, Hotel and Convention Center opened in November 1985, originally as a one-room blackjack house.[3][4][5]
The facility was expanded in 1988, 1992,[5] 1993, 1994, 1997, and 2004.[3]
In June 2011, an anonymous tip led to the arrest of two Oklahoma residents by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribal Police after being observed by casino security personnel of using a device to manipulating gaming machines into paying larger payouts.[6] A subsequent investigation by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribal Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed that six individuals had been working together and traveled to the casino on 52 weekends between June 2009 and June 2011 stealing approximately $310,000 from the casino.[6] In October 2013, the six each pleaded guilty to a count of conspiracy to commit theft from a gaming establishment on Indian lands.[6] They were each sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert Holmes Bell on March 1, 2014.[6]
