It’s rare to find a partnership between commercial and tribal operators.
But on Wednesday, Caesars Entertainment announced the expansion of an existing partnership with three Wabanaki Nations. The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Mi’kmaq Nation and the Penobscot Nation will partner with Caesars to feature igaming in Maine. The long-term agreement positions Caesars and its tribal partners for a potential igaming launch in the state this year, pending regulatory approvals.
“As we look ahead to the launch of online casino gaming in Maine, we’re proud to expand our partnership with the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Mi’kmaq Nation and the Penobscot Nation,” Caesars Digital President Eric Hession said in a statement.
