During the holidays, people come together and exchange gifts. However, let’s be honest, it’s also a time for receiving.
As a resident of Michigan involved in sports betting, online casino gaming, or online poker playing, you are entitled to something special.
No, we’re not referring to a new promotion, although those are also enjoyable. We’re talking about the significant gifts that you have been eagerly anticipating since online gambling became available in Michigan almost two years ago.
Although we lack the authority to bestow these upon you, we are diligently compiling a list and thoroughly scrutinizing it — primarily to rectify any grammatical flaws, while cleverly aligning with the melody.
The launch of interstate poker
For months, your parents – the Michigan Gaming Control Board and Michigan’s three online poker operators – have been dropping hints about this special gift.
You have a strong belief that the gift will be placed under the tree this year. However, there is a possibility of a shipping delay, so you may have to accept an additional gift as a bonus after the holiday season.
It’s inevitable, regardless of the outcome. We are well aware of this fact as it has been reiterated to us numerous times.
In the near future, online poker players from Michigan will have the opportunity to engage in games alongside players from New Jersey. Moreover, there is a possibility that players from Delaware and Nevada may also join in this exciting venture.
At present, BetMGM and PokerStars have enhanced their software to ensure compatibility across different states. It is highly probable that the World Series of Poker will follow suit. It seems that all that remains is for someone to give the green light.
A hometown team to bet on in the NFL Playoffs
Placing bets on a team you have an emotional attachment to may not be the wisest choice, especially if it is detrimental to both your finances and emotions.
However, the Detroit Lions have demonstrated their reliability this season by achieving a 10-4 record against the spread. Additionally, if you had placed moneyline bets on all of their games, their 7-7 record would have resulted in a small overall profit.
Adding to the excitement of January 2022, which already holds the record for the highest sports betting activity in Michigan, the NFL Playoffs played a significant role. It would be even more thrilling to have some local buzz, aside from a former quarterback, to enhance the overall experience.
Although the websites may not provide us with this information, our strong desire remains for the Lions to qualify for the playoffs, alright?
A new Michigan online casino
Since September, we have remained with only 14 Michigan online casino operators after TwinSpires ceased operations. While SI Sportsbook MI swiftly took its place in the sports betting realm, the online casino skin still remains vacant.
Currently, there is no SI-branded casino available, although this may change in the future. However, it is worth noting that in Michigan, it is most convenient and popular for customers to have a single app that combines both sportsbook and online casino functionalities.
It is possible that 888Casino would be a logical choice since SI Sportsbook collaborates with 888 Holdings.
Regardless, the addition of a 15th online casino in Michigan is long overdue and likely to happen soon.
The launch of live dealer craps at Michigan online casinos
In 2022, craps has been introduced to the live dealer options in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for our friends residing there. Although we were assured that Michigan would also receive this addition, it has not been implemented as of now.
When the time comes for Michigan online casinos to integrate Evolution’s game, the process should be smooth and effortless.
Discovering the most interactive casino game among live dealers would be an amazing gift to uncover during the holiday season.
