Saginaw Chippewa Tribe sees strong returns at casino



The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan is seeing strong business at the Saganing Eagles Landing Casino, which marked its second anniversary in January.

According to The Bay City Times, the casino took in $67.1 million in 2009, up from $55.8 million in 2008. The calculations are based on the amount of money the tribe shares with the local communit.

"We've had a couple of very successful years here," Frank J. Cloutier, the tribe's public relations director, told the paper. "The Saganing Eagles Landing Casino is probably responsible for close to a third" of the tribe's gaming revenue, Cloutier said.

The tribe plans to expand the facility but no time frame has been set.
