DraftKings Casino targets Michigan online poker players with Electric Poker, a game debuting in the lobby of the DraftKings Michigan online casino. One notable difference from other conventional casino games is that in Electric Poker, players do not compete against the operator. Instead, the game enables registered members to compete against each other in a no-limit Hold ’em tournament.

The new addition to the DraftKings game library is a fast-paced version of the 3-handed No-Limit Texas Hold ’em game, offering an impressive 10,000x prize fund. That is the maximum win in a winner-take-all tournament, while other prize multipliers offer 100x and 1,000x payouts, with the 5x and 10x multipliers allocated for the runner-up in the tournament. 

The tournament runs over a short time frame, frequently only a few minutes. Players can expect low buy-ins of $1, $5, $10 and $25. These limits indicate the game is aimed at casual players. DraftKings already announced that Wolverine State players can access this game only if they have updated their DraftKings Casino app to the latest versions. 

The Great Lakes State market already has an active online poker scene, with three platforms already heavily invested in the online poker scene. Since 2021, BetMGM, PokerStars, and WSOP have been catering to Michigan online poker players. The fact that Electric Poker will be available through the DraftKings MI casino app is a significant advantage over competitors, which require players to download a separate app. This easy access can attract players to a platform already renowned for MI online casino no deposit bonus offers and an extensive portfolio of games.  

The Michigan Gaming Control Board allows player pooling with Nevada and New Jersey. However, at the time of writing, Electric Poker is only available in Michigan, which means it’s not possible to pool players’ bets. 

According to revenue generated, DraftKings Casino is the third-best operator in the Great Lakes State. This brand is the third operator in the Michigan iGaming market to hit a 1 billion dollar lifetime revenue. DraftKings is actively increasing its gaming offer, and investing in online poker is a new chapter in the operator’s growth.
