In addition to poker, sports betting, online casino games and fantasy sports contests are now legal in Michigan.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a package of bills into law on Friday that expand gaming in the state to include online poker, sports betting and fantasy sports contests. The Wolverine State becomes the sixth state to legalize online poker following Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The bills sat with the governor for just over a week after the legislature passed the final versions of the bills last week.
