Michigan Gambling

The Interactions of Native American, Detroit, and Canadian Casinos

R. Fred Wacker

Wayne State University

Michigan is the most prominent gambling destination between Atlantic City and Nevada. Since the mid-1990s, there has been competition between casinos in Ontario, Detroit, and those on Native American reservations. The Ontario, Detroit, and Chippewa casinos in Mount Pleasant and Sault Saint Marie are full-scale, land-based, Las Vegas-style gaming venues. Other smaller Native American casinos that rely largely on machine gaming revenues are scattered throughout the state (in a manner similar to other midwestern and Northern Plains states).

Key Words: tribal gambling • Michigan gambling • economic development • gambling industry
