Caesars Finalizes Acquisition of Wynn’s Michigan iGaming Business
The completion of the acquisition bolsters the company's presence in the iGaming market across Michigan and complements its North American growth

The largest casino-entertainment company in the United States and operator with one of the most diversified casino-entertainment providers in the world, Caesars Entertainment, announced the completion of the acquisition of WynnBET’s iGaming business in Michigan. The move represents a major expansion of the company in an important online gambling market.
Besides acquiring WynnBET’s iGaming operations, Caesars also closed a long-term extension of an iGaming market access deal with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
Upon announcing the completion of the acquisition, the company said that existing WynnBET brand users won’t experience any interruptions. Assuming the ownership of the WynnBET iGaming business in the state, Caesars said that it plans to keep the existing platform’s name, at least for the moment.
Eric Hession, Caesars Digital’s President, acknowledged the importance of the latest announcement. He thanked the gambling regulator in the state, the Michigan Gaming Control Board, as well as the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, for their efforts that ultimately resulted in the closing of this landmark acquisition.
“Caesars Entertainment would like to thank the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and the Michigan Gaming Control Board for their collaboration through this process.“

Transitioning from WynnBET to a New Brand Expected Later This Year
Although initially, Caesars will retain the existing platform by using the WynnBET brand in Michigan, the company hinted at the possibility of introducing a new online casino brand. Once this is completed, the company said it will proceed with the transitioning of the existing WynnBET customers to the new iGaming brand.
Still, Caesars confirmed that such a move remains subject to the relevant regulatory approvals. The company disclosed that it expects to complete the aforementioned processes at some point during the second half of this year.
Still, a solid date or an exact name for the new iGaming brand in Michigan was not disclosed.
Recently, Caesars’ shareholders rejected a proposal to study the benefits of going smoke-free. The announcement came despite the growing opposition from anti-smoke organizations who have repeatedly raised concerns about the negative impact of smoking on casino patrons and employees.
