A senate bill being promoted in the US state of Michigan seeks to permit real-money i-gaming in the state – but only at casinos.

A constitutional amendment in Michigan requires most gambling expansions to be put to a public vote – however the comparatively limited on-site option could sidestep the need for a poll.
The plan would allow gamblers at Detroit's three casinos and also at properties owned by Indian tribes to legally play online poker and card games within casino walls.
The bill faces opposition however, from local groups that backed Sheldon Adelson’s push for a federal ban on i-gaming and, potentially, from the tribal casinos who fear they could only gain an on-site i-gaming licence by surrendering a degree of sovereignty.
