🎰 Michigan’s multi-billion dollar tribal casino industry started in a two-car garage. On December 31, 1983, Fred Dakota opened The Pines in Zeba, Michigan—running a single blackjack table out of a residential garage. This defied state law, sparking a legal battle that cleared the way for tribal gaming across the nation. By July 4, 1984, Bay Mills opened Kings Club, the nation's first official tribal casino with slots, changing Michigan's economy forever. #Michigan #michiganders #michiganmade #M
