Michigan
Michigan is one of the most progressive states when it comes to gambling and is a shining example of how to expand gambling effectively. It legalized online casinos, sports betting and poker in a single sweeping effort in 2019. Although a methodical regulatory effort meant it took over a year for the new sites to launch, the effort paid off, as most operators were ready to go from day one. Within a month, Michigan’s market was performing as well as the much more established ones in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Wolverine State also has a full-featured online lottery and 15 retail casinos – three commercial and 12 tribal.
