How old must I be to gamble in Michigan?

Each Native American tribe may establish its own minimum gambling age (but not less than 18 years of age). All commercial casinos in Detroit have a minimum gambling age of 21, as required by Michigan law. The Michigan Bureau of State Lottery and Office of Racing Commissioner (horse racing) have a minimum age of 18.
