questions - older Michigan tokens

Here are some tokens I recently acquired. The two in the middle were previously unknown to me.

The first one, of course, is Soaring Eagle and is common.

#2 is a beautiful copper token from the Sault Ste. Marie tribe, and mentions the tribe's Kewadin casino. Does anyone know more about this token - was it a slot token, or a free play token?

#3 is Leelanau Sands and is dated 1993. Was this brass coin a slot token? I am not used to seeing slot tokens for Michigan tribes - other than dollar tokens. From my limited practice, tribes used half dollars in their slot machines (I used to put money in and keep making change, filtering any silver halves into my pocket).

#4 is Casino Windsor. I don't remember seeing a maple leaf on other tokens, though - was this a common motif for Windsor? I have three different 25 cent tokens in my collection - crown, rose, and this W logo. Does anyone know the order of release?
