If the poker tournament is a fundraiser for a “qualified organization”, a license under the state of Michigan’s Bingo Act must be obtained. When prizes are given randomly based upon participation in the event, the prizes are a game promotion and no license is required. However, if the tournament is not a fundraiser for a qualified organization and prizes for winners are given out, only a licensed casino can hold the event.
