To date, they've paid out $166 million through compact revenue sharing and $2.6 million through charitable donations. Gun Lake Casino has been giving back since their beginning in 2011. 'The biggest thing for us is, Does this make an impact for the community? Who is this helping and how can we help them? Again without the community, we are just a building, and the community means so much to all of us,' said Gun Lake Casino's Assistant General Manager Carter Pavey. In 2021, Gun Lake Casino donated over $280,000 to community organizations, and those organizations said it has made a huge impact. An area casino is taking their revenue and putting it to good use: back into their local communities.
