Four Winds, an esteemed operator overseeing four casinos in the United States and owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians of Michigan and Indiana, has embarked on a strategic collaboration with Strive Gaming to bolster its iGaming offerings in Michigan.
Since February 2021, Four Winds has been actively engaged in the iGaming arena, extending its land-based offerings to the online realm through the launch of its online casino and sportsbook in Michigan.
The newly forged partnership between Four Winds and Strive Gaming is geared toward enhancing the operator’s online gaming services by harnessing cutting-edge technology, including operational automation and contextual real-time engagement strategies.
Max Meltzer, CEO of Strive Gaming, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with Four Winds Casinos, which has forged a reputation as a successful, well-managed operator with player experiences at the forefront of its strategy. Our team provides expertise across many facets of the North American market, and it will be a pleasure to provide this expertise to Four Winds Casinos with our market-leading solutions, including core PAM technology, customer service, leading bonusing capabilities and front-end development.”
Clayton Mason, Interim COO and CFO of Four Winds, echoed the sentiment, expressing, “We are pleased to welcome Strive Gaming as a new partner to support our iGaming offering in Michigan. Strive provides unrivalled technology and the depth of online gaming experience we can rely on. We look forward to creating an even more exciting and engaging online casino experience for our guests.”
Notably, Strive’s platform currently operates across multiple states and recently appointed Tommaso Di Chio as Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, emphasizing the company’s proactive stance in preparing for forthcoming regulatory changes in the US and Canada.
This strategic partnership signifies the ongoing trend of tribal operators expanding their digital footprint, mirroring recent developments such as Anaxi’s collaboration with Chickasaw and the establishment of Hard Rock Games, showcasing a collective effort to advance and diversify the landscape of digital gaming experiences.
