Gaming: other; certain social wagering; allow. Amends sec. 301 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.301).
This bill modifies Michigan's penal code to explicitly allow certain types of social gambling among friends and acquaintances. It creates a legal exemption for games where no more than 100 people participate, each wager is limited to $25, and the event is not held in a commercial gambling venue or promoted by a business. The law requires that the organizer must be a participant who has no special advantage, and all money wagered must be returned as prizes to the players. By adding these specific conditions, the legislation clarifies that such private social wagers are not considered illegal gambling under state law.
