Regulated gaming provides player protection and rigorous internal controls and independent laboratory testing of gaming machines. The MGCB works closely with local law enforcement agencies to investigate alleged illegal gambling locations, which do not provide the protections associated with legal gaming and can bring unwanted crime to neighborhoods. Citizens can call our tip line at 888-314-2682 to anonymously report alleged illegal machines.
