Flores credited their collaboration with Parx Casino and the utilization of the Kambi platform for enabling them to develop an online sports betting option that aligns with Gun Lake Casino’s renowned standards. He concluded by expressing their enthusiasm to offer players in Michigan the latest state-of-the-art sportsbook.
