Kewadin Casino St. Ignace slot machines

When it comes to slot machine offerings among all Kewadin casinos, this venue trails only the Sault Ste. Marie facility. St. Ignace has a mid-sized selection of slot games, with a little over 700 machines available.

The betting range is versatile ? from nickels and pennies to $25. The ?nosebleed? $100 machines are not included. Still, the portfolio should be able to accommodate most budgets.

In 2019, the Sault Ste. Marie T
ribe partnered with Light & Wonder (formerly Scientific Games) to integrate its iVIEW 4 and Elite Bonusing Suite (EBS) technology systems in all five Kewadin properties. Blockbuster Scientific Games were also included in the installation agreement:

• Quick Hit ? The Quick Hit franchise is a stalwart of the casino industry. These games are basically Bally?s take on the fruit-themed slots of the past. They usually come with a twist?a wild, multiplier or jackpot. The 5×3 layout is used across most installments, with denominations ranging from $0.01 to $5+.
• Dancing Drums Explosion ? The Chinese-themed Dancing Drums Explosion is a well-known crowd-pleaser. Featuring signature fu bat wilds, the game offers 243 ways to win, which can increase to 32,768 in the free spins round.
• Lock It Link ? Developed by WMS, Lock It Link bears resemblance to the Lightning Link slot from Aristocrat, with both games revolving around the Hold & Spin feature (dubbed the Lock It feature by WMS). Otherwise, Lock It Link has a luxury aesthetic and plays on a 5×3 configuration.
• THE WIZARD OF OZ? This WMS slot is an adaptation of the popular children’s novel and film. From multi-tiered bonus rounds to expanding wilds, the game is abuzz with cool features.
• Jin Ji Bao Xi? Another slot employing Chinese iconography, Jin Ji Bao Xi features symbols like dragons, turtles and koi fish. By selecting the All Up feature, you have the option to upgrade premium symbols to the golden ones that award larger prizes. You will have to pay a higher stake cost per spin, though.

St. Ignace’s Kewadin Casino hosts slot tournaments, both seasonally and weekly. Entries are free, but you must be a Northern Rewards Club member to participate. Prizes are typically Kewadin credits?bonus points that can be redeemed for free play later.

Kewadin Casino St. Ignace history and current owners

The Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians gained federal recognition as a distinct tribal entity in the 1970s. A decade or so later, in 1984, the tribe ventured into casino gaming in Michigan and decided to launch Kewadin casinos.

The Sault Ste. Marie property was the trailblazer, opening in 1985. Two years later, the Kewadin Casino in St. Ignace began operations. Propelled by the success of its two initial casino projects, the tribe opened three more properties in 1994?in Christmas, Hessel, and Manistique.
