Named for the Pottawatomi word for fire, this chophouse incorporates symbolic fire features as an expression of the tribe’s inclusion in the Three Fires Confederacy, a long-standing Anishinaabe tribal alliance.

Each new restaurant and design concept is created exclusively for the Gun Lake Casino. The modern, state of the art amenities offer an unsurpassed entertainment experience in Michigan. “We worked to set a new direction for Gun Lake Casino, increasing its customer base with new comprehensive dining options and high-class design sensibilities on par with the best Vegas properties,” said Christie Pezzetta, Senior Project Designer at JCJ Architecture, who led the design of the interiors. The expansion adds hundreds of additional slots, table games, a sports betting area, two outdoor patios, a two-story keg cooler with self-serve beer and wine taps, non-smoking parlor, and three new restaurants. The remodeled exterior and new south entrance signify a fresh outlook for the casino and its upscale offerings. JCJ Architecture spearheaded the expansion, developing a master plan and design direction for the future of the resort casino. Upgraded exteriors and expanded food and beverage offerings transform the property from a regional casino into a first-class resort, creating a premier entertainment and gaming destination in the Midwest. The expansion adds 72,000 square feet to the existing 165,000 square-foot property, owned and operated by the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi, commonly known as the Gun Lake Tribe. WAYLAND, MI - JCJ Architecture, a forward-thinking and nationally ranked planning, architecture, and interior design firm, is excited to announce that its expansion of Gun Lake Casino in Wayland, Michigan is now complete as of September 2021. 72,000 Square-Foot Expansion Sets a New Standard for Entertainment and Gaming in the Midwest
