Free poker and social casino games in Michigan

No-Limit Hold’em in the Temple of Fortune: five- and nine-seat tables named after cities of ancient Egypt — Thebes, Memphis, Karnak and others — at three levels of blinds, 50/100, 500/1,000 and 5,000/10,000. The hall shows who is sitting where, so you can follow a friend to a table or press “Quick game”.

All-ins, side pots and split pots follow the standard rules. Quick phrases — “Good luck, everyone!”, “Good game”, “Ra is with me” — are a click away, and the chat works at the table just as it does on the square.

Michigan’s charity bingo is licensed through the Bureau of State Lottery, and church and veterans’ halls run games statewide. In the Hall of Seshat you play for debens: one to four cards, AUTO halls that mark numbers themselves and MANUAL halls where you mark them and shout “BINGO!”.

If several cards win on the same ball, the prize is split between them — two of your own cards can win at once.

Detroit’s three commercial casinos deal roulette and blackjack for money. In Anubis City the European roulette wheel in the Rotunda of Shai spins for the whole table about every half minute, and blackjack in the Hall of Thoth comes from a six-deck shoe with the dealer standing on soft 17.

Chips start at 100 debens at the low tables, so you can play for hours on a free starting purse.

Three slot machines with three different characters: Sevens of Ra, a classic with the Sun of Ra as a wild; Book of Thoth, with ten free spins and an expanding symbol; Treasures of Horus, with Hold & Win and four jackpots. Over a long run, all three pay back about 95% of what is bet.

Every spin is settled on the server before the reels stop, so a lost connection never costs you a win — the last 20 spins are in each machine’s History.

The weekly top counts experience earned while players had a Michigan city as home: poker hands, bingo games, spins and daily visits. Game names only — and only for players who show their city in the profile.

2. Make a character and walk to the Temple of Fortune or any other hall.
3. In your profile choose My city, then the United States and your Michigan city.

Save your character to get 500,000 debens and to create private poker tables: friends join with the table’s code or link. Play with friends has the details.

Michigan licenses online casino games and online poker under the Lawful Internet Gaming Act of 2019, for players 21 and over, through the Michigan Gaming Control Board. Online gambling outside that licensing is illegal.

The board treats sweepstakes casinos as unlicensed gambling. In January 2024 it announced cease-and-desist letters to three online operators, and it has sent more since. Michigan has no separate sweepstakes statute; it uses the gambling laws it already has.

Anubis City isn’t online gambling in our understanding: no one pays, nothing is cashed out, and debens and ankhs have no cash value. We are not lawyers, and this isn’t legal advice.
