Things to take into consideration when choosing the best Michigan online casinos

Published

on

 

Michigan is one of the states that has legalized online gambling. This means that there are now many online casinos that Michigan residents can choose from. With so many options, it can be difficult to decide which one is the best for you.

In this blog post, we will discuss some things to take into consideration when choosing an online casino in Michigan. We hope that this will help you narrow down your choices and find the perfect casino for you.

Online casinos in Michigan

Since the legalization of online gambling in Michigan and across the USA, many casinos have popped up. This can be both good and bad. On the one hand, you now have a lot of options to choose from. On the other hand, it can be difficult to decide which one is the best for you.

Thankfully, punters in Michigan can look at several additional aspects when it comes down to trying to identify and select the right casino for all of their wagering and gaming needs. We have identified some of the most important below:

Security and legality

One of the first things to consider is how secure and legal the platform is. Make sure that the Michigan Gaming Control Board licenses the casino. This will ensure that it meets all the necessary requirements and is safe for you to use. By doing so,  you can be sure that your personal and financial information is protected.

Consider the types of games you want to play

It is also important to consider what type of games you want to play. Many different online casinos offer a variety of games. Some casinos specialize in slots, while others offer a more diverse selection of games. If you know what type of games you want to play, it will be easier to find a casino that offers them.

What promotions and bonuses are being offered

Another thing to consider is the bonus and promotions that each casino offers. Many online casinos offer Welcome Bonuses and other promotions to attract new players. These bonuses can give you extra money to play with or free spins on slots or other games. Make sure to consider and fully understand the terms and conditions of these bonuses before claiming them in order to avoid any surprises that may be a shock if they were to happen.

Customer support

Finally, take a look at the customer support that each casino offers. You should be able to contact customer support if you have any problems with your account or if you need help with anything else. The best online casinos will have friendly and helpful customer support staff that are always willing to help.

Of course, there are many other things that can be done, with it possible to read a number of reviews in order to help you make the right choice!

Stake - Best Online Casino & Sports Betting Platform

Why are there so many options available to choose from now?

As already highlighted, Michigan was one of the first states to decide to amend the regulations that once existed following the ruling in 2018 by the Supreme Court. As a result, we have seen a huge change that appears to have been welcomed by residents of the Great Lake state.

Indeed, when you have options where you can see the likes of BetRivers Michigan casino stepping into the scene with great perks, it is hardly a surprise that many online casino players are enjoying the industry in their vast numbers.

Naturally, as more and more people cotton on to the fact that they can easily access these platforms, it is expected that the number of people signing up and playing will only continue to increase in the coming months and years.

What are the benefits of a legalized online casino industry?

There are many benefits that have been linked with the online casino industry being legalized in Michigan, with many of them benefiting the socio-economics of the state.

One of the main ones is that it has led to an increase in tax revenue for the state. This is because people have to pay taxes on their winnings when they gamble. According to the figures provided by Play Michigan, online casinos have the following metric concerning taxation:

  • 20% tax for gross revenue less than $4 million
  • 28% tax for gross revenue greater than $12 million

Since the activity became legal, we have seen the Great Lake State generate more than $1.77 billion in its lifetime, with almost $460 million raised in tax dollars that benefit the state and local governments. Indeed, this money that has been generated can then be used to improve and enhance key services and infrastructure that can help to improve the lives of those who reside in the area.

Another benefit is that it has created jobs for people in Michigan. Online casinos need employees to run them, from customer service staff to software developers. This has helped boost the Michigan economy and create more opportunities for people who live there. The reduction in unemployment also means there has been a reduction in poverty, which can make the state appear more attractive to investors and other prospective businesses in the future.

Finally, legalizing online gambling has also helped to keep people safe. Before, people had to go to physical casinos if they wanted to gamble, which could be dangerous. Now, they can do it from the comfort and safety of their own homes. This has made gambling a much safer activity for everyone involved.

Final Thoughts

There are a number of things that you need to take into consideration when choosing the best Michigan online casinos. These include the games that are available, the bonuses and promotions on offer, the banking options, and the customer support. By considering all of these factors, you can be sure that you will find the perfect online casino for your needs.

Intralot S.A. informs the investor community and its stakeholders that on July 15, 2025 the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission approved the recommendation to award a new Lottery Central Monitoring and Control System (LCMCS) contract to its US subsidiary, Intralot, Inc. following a competitive bidding process.

The vendor awarded the contract will manufacture the counter terminals and self-service vending machines that sell tickets at 4,300 Maryland Lottery retailer points of sale; develops the software that runs the system’s sales and accounting functions; and provide numerous related services that are necessary to operate the Maryland Lottery. The term of the contract is 10 years with a possible 5+1 year extension.

As part its proposal to the State, Intralot has engaged nine local business enterprises (MBE) to service the Maryland Lottery contract. Historically, vendors have used fewer MBE partners, but Intralot believes its new approach will create far greater opportunities for local communities.

Intralot’s financial proposal corresponds to a total estimated contract term price of $260,393,946.

The Gaming Control Commission’s approval is an intermediary step in the award process for

NYC Council Rejects Bally’s $4B Bronx Casino Bid

Published

on

 

The New York City Council has rejected Bally’s land-use rezoning proposal for its planned $4 billion Bronx casino.

The City Council voted 29-9, with four abstentions, against gaming giant Bally’s request to rezone parkland for commercial use at the Bally’s Golf Links at Ferry Point property it operates in the Bronx. The move effectively ended Bally’s shot to secure the required land use and other zoning approvals needed for winning a casino license. The motion to disapprove of Bally’s request was put forward by Bronx Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato.

The proposed $4 billion Bally’s Bronx hotel and casino resort, totaling more than 3 million square feet, was planned for roughly 16 acres of parking lots and the practice green area at Bally’s Golf Links at Ferry Point. The complex’s design includes a 500,000-square-foot casino with 3500 gaming machines and 250 table games, a 500-room upscale hotel and a 2000-person event center.

Bally’s, in its official application filed in late June with the New York State Gaming Commission, called Bally’s Bronx a “once-in-a-generation” investment. “This development represents an audacious vision to develop a former landfill and transform it into an economic engine for the Bronx — the borough’s single largest private development.”

Without Bally’s in the running, the field of New York casino contenders narrows to seven. Three developers previously ended their plans, including the $12 billion Hudson Yards West casino proposal from Related Cos., Oxford Properties and Wynn Resorts. The group dropped its bid following strong community opposition.

Three casino licenses are available for the downstate region that includes New York City. A viable bidder would have to secure a two-thirds majority vote from a community advisory committee before a proposal could advance to the next round and be considered by the state’s Gaming Facility Location Board, which will make its final decision by Dec. 1. In addition to a $1 million filing fee, the teams selected would each have to pay a $500 million license fee while also meeting the requirement of a $500 million minimum capital investment.

If none of the bids secures enough committee votes, the state will not issue any licenses.
