The MGCB is committed to providing help for those who are unable to find a healthy balance between their personal lives and their desire to participate in casino gaming.

Of the $25 million State Services Fee assessed to the three Detroit casinos each year, $2 million is deposited into a Compulsive Gaming Prevention Fund, along with other financial contributions from the Michigan Lottery Bureau and Office of Racing Commissioner. In accordance with Michigan law (Public Act 70 of 1997), the Michigan Department of Community Health determines how this Fund may be used.
