Wayland, Mich. (January 3, 2026) – Gun Lake Casino Resort (GLCR) is celebrating its 15-year anniversary with a unique promotional opportunity for guests of the West Michigan casino, hotel resort destination. In February, GLCR will award two lucky winners each week with $100 in free slot play, redeemable every week, for the next 15 years.
“We are very proud to reach 15 great years of operation, and to celebrate we are awarding free slot play to two lucky winners each week in February, who will each get $100 of free slot play every week for the next 15 years,” said Brian Decorah, Senior VP/General Manager. “Since opening, the casino has shared $207 million in revenue with the State and local community. We proudly offer a highly competitive wage, benefit, and retirement package to our 1,500 team valued members. We strive every day to continue improving the quality of life in our region.”
Gun Lake Casino opened late in the evening of February 10, 2011, when a massive crowd of casino-goers first walked into the building. Traffic was backed up from the property entrance all the way down the northbound and southbound exit ramps causing a traffic jam on both sides of U.S. 131. The grand opening had been widely anticipated for many years as the Gun Lake Tribe fought for over a decade to clear legal and political hurdles to make the dream a reality.
Gun Lake Casino Resort has evolved over the years under several sizable expansions. The March 2025 grand opening of the 16-story luxury hotel tower, full-service spa, new dining options, and meeting and event space brought a transformational milestone into a year- around destination resort. The Wawyé Oasis opened in June offering guests an unsurpassed experience, found nowhere else in the Midwest.
The beautiful glass atrium houses over 32,000 square feet of paradise with live palm trees, over 4,000 tropical plants, set at a perfect temperature of 80 degrees. The beautiful aquatic entertainment complex features adult and family pool areas, private cabanas and food and beverage service. Wawyé Oasis is also the perfect venue for live concerts and entertainment.
The Cheers to 15 Years promotional award of $100 in free slot play, redeemable every week, for the next 15 years is available to GLC Rewards Card holders who are present Saturday evenings in February.
