FireKeepers Turns Up the Heat: Renovations, new poker room & themed slots ignite the action
FireKeepers Casino Hotel is still red hot and getting even hotter! FireKeepers Casino Hotel, located in Battle Creek, MI, continues to set the bar for gaming, hospitality and entertainment in the Midwest. The AAA Four Diamond-awarded resort offers an unbeatable combination of luxury accommodations, thrilling casino action, world-class dining and nonstop entertainment—all backed by the enduring vision of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi.
With 446 rooms and suites spread across two hotel towers, FireKeepers has long been known for elegance and comfort. Now, its original hotel tower is undergoing a top-to-bottom refresh, with renovations nearly complete to bring it up to the same high standard as the newer tower. Guests can expect reimagined rooms with premium finishes and modern amenities, enhancing every stay.
Already home to 2,700 slot machines, FireKeepers is once again refreshing its gaming floor. A brand-new themed slot area—located near the Event Center doors—now features over 50 top-tier games from Konami, Light & Wonder and AGS. Games like Dragon’s Law, Rakin’ Bacon and Ultimate Fire Link are now grouped into immersive themed zones, making them easier to find and even more exciting to play. “The new creative environment for these games adds to the experience,” said Steve Senk, vice president of gaming operations. “We’re constantly investing to bring the best product and best experience to our players.”
That same energy is powering the casino’s all-in approach to poker. The brand-new FireKeepers Poker Room recently opened adjacent to Dacey’s Sportsbook & Taphouse. Featuring 21 tables, custom MSPT-themed décor, a final table stage, and a self-service beverage station, it’s a bold step forward. Whether you’re playing daily cash games or major tournaments like the Mid-States Poker Tour, the new Poker Room delivers next-level comfort and excitement.
And there’s even more on the horizon. This summer, FireKeepers will debut a reimagined online gaming platform, offering players more ways to stay connected to the action. With a wider selection of slots and table games, improved deposit and withdrawal options and a direct connection to the on-property Red Hot Rewards loyalty program, this new platform promises a seamless, more rewarding online gaming experience.
Dining at FireKeepers continues to shine. Nibi, the casino’s Four Diamond-rated signature restaurant, is led by Chef Mason Rice and continues to earn accolades for its culinary excellence and award-winning wine list. From upscale fine dining to comfort food at Smoke ’N Fire or all-day bites at Café, guests can find something to satisfy every craving.
For sports lovers, Dacey’s Sportsbook & Taphouse remains the go-to destination for catching the big game with a cold craft beer in hand. Frequently recognized as one of the top sports bars in the region, Dacey’s offers a winning combo of food, drink and high-energy atmosphere.
FireKeepers continues to earn recognition from industry leaders and readers alike. With multiple “Best Of” awards under its belt, including Best Overall Gaming Resort and Best Dining, the property remains a standout. Its decade-long partnership with Michigan International Speedway and the FireKeepers Casino 400 further underscores the brand’s commitment to high-octane entertainment and meaningful community impact.
There’s never been a better time to visit—or revisit—FireKeepers Casino Hotel. Whether you’re relaxing in a refreshed suite, going all-in at the new Poker Room, discovering themed slot zones or anticipating the launch of a powerful new iGaming experience, FireKeepers is turning up the heat in every way.
