G2E panel says Michigan’s igaming model may not suit other states

Gene Johnson said online gambling had reached $2 billion without displacing land-based gaming; Brandt Iden said each state had distinct circumstances.
Operators and policymakers considering online gambling can weigh Michigan’s experience against differences in tribal and state conditions.
