US.- The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB)<\/strong> has approved 888 Holdings\u2019 VHL Michigan<\/strong> as the new platform provider for the Hannahville Indian Community\u2019s online casino gaming<\/strong>. It will provide the platform under the Sports Illustrated brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The tribe, which operates Island Resort & Casino in Harris<\/strong>, Michigan, signed a deal with 888 Holdings after Twin Spires, the original platform provider for its online gaming and online sports betting, announced its plans to close its online business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hannahville Indian Community was among 10 licensees initially authorised by the MGCB to launch both forms of online gaming in Michigan on January 22, 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Henry Williams<\/strong>, MGCB executive director, said: \u201cI wish the Hannahville tribe continued success as they once again may offer their customers both Internet gaming and Internet sports betting in Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In mid-April 2022, the MGCB authorised the state\u2019s 15th online gaming and sports betting operator. Licences by law are limited to the three commercial casinos and 12 federally recognised tribes in Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
