Michigan Gambling History

The Racing Act of 1933 brought legalized gambling to Michigan. This created the Office of Racing Commissioner and pari-mutuel pools for horseracing. Horseracing peaked in the mid-1900’s. It began a decline after tribal casinos started to open in the 1990’s. There are just three racetracks that hold live races each year while a fourth one remains in limbo.

Voters approved a state lottery on May 16, 1972. The first scratch-off ticket was sold on October 7, 1975. The first lotto ticket was sold for a Pick 3 drawing on June 6, 1977. Michigan joined interstate lotto pools on June 11, 1996. Pull tabs and keno games were installed at bars in 2003. The Michigan Lottery launched internet games in 2014. This includes the sale of lotto drawing tickets. There are also instant games that mimic slots and a video keno game available on the Michigan Lottery website.

Act 382 was passed in 1972. It permitted charities to spread games of chance to raise funds for nonprofit organizations. Bingo, raffles and other drawings. Casino-style gaming was added to charity laws in 2007.

The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe opened the first reservation casino in Mt. Pleasant in 1993. Gaming eventually expanded to more than a dozen tribes in 20 locations. In November 1996, voters approved the expansion of gambling to Detroit. Three Michigan casinos operate there today. The original tax rate for Detroit casinos was 18 percent. It was raised to 24 percent in 2004.Michigan enacted a smoking ban on May 1, 2010. The law exempts Detroit casinos. This was done because state smoking bans do not apply to reservations and would have left Detroit casinos at a competitive disadvantage.
