The optimism surrounding the possibility of iGaming and with it, online poker, in Michigan received another morale boost today. A new bill that would legalize online gambling in the Great Lakes state was announced earlier this week and this morning, there was a hearing about the bill before Michigan’s state House Regulatory Reform Committee.
The Senate Regulatory Reform Committee has been the bill’s chief sponsor and major proponent. Rep. Brandt Iden, the committee’s chairman, emphasized in the hearing that it is only a matter of time before iGaming becomes legal in their state.
