Hi,  
I am Alex Klocko with KLOCKO LLC, the supplier at All Star Lanes in Walled Lake.  
I have a few questions about the proposed rule changes.  
1.  
Do these  
strikethroughs mean that we are no longer limited to 2 charities per day? Are we allowed to run  
events all 7 days of the week at the same location? Is there still a limit of one charity at a time? Do the  
charities still have a limit of 4 consecutive days per event?  
2.  
Does this  
rule change imply that we are no longer limited to selling $20,000 total in chips? For instance, I read  
this as if we have $20k chips sold and in play, then a player cashes out $3k, we are able to resell those  
$3k as long as we keep under the $20k in the demarcated area rule. Is that correct? How does the  
rake play into that number?  
3. I see that the location fee remained the same at $250/day, but I do not see anything about the supplier  
limits. Are there proposed changes to the supplier maximums with these changes?  
I also have a couple of suggestions:  
1. Our room specifically is limiting our charities' productivity significantly due to the lack of chips  
available. An increase in the amount of chips we are able to sell, potentially to $30,000, would go a  
long way in helping our charities maximize their potential during their events.  
1
2. With an increase in chips, an increase in the supplier maximum would also be appreciated.  
3. Our dealers would really benefit from the ability to accept tips in chips. Even if it is a cup or bin that  
sits at the table that the charity can come pick up at the end of a rotation and exchange. Maybe that is  
something that can also be altered.  
4. Facebook posts and online promotion of the charity rooms seems to be a grey area at this point. If  
possible, I think that it would be helpful to the charities and the rooms if online posting was permitted  
for events in the future.  
Thank you very much for the update on the rules changes,  
I look forward to hearing back from you soon,  
Alex Klocko

Hi again,  
One more suggestion I really think could help our charities. Giving each charity more than 4 eligible events per  
year. I think we are limiting the potential of our charities with the current restrictions.  
Looking forward to hearing from you,  
Alex

Not even wasting my time reading the changes. I am from a small organization and went through the process of securing  
and getting approved for millionaire party games. My experience has been. The rules are so stacked in favor of bigtime  
casinos, and not taking things away from them that they are a release, burdensome and complicated. We will never  
have another millionaire party in our organization.

Millionaire Parties Draft Rule Changes  
CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to abuse@michigan.gov  
Good morning,  
After reviewing the proposed changes to Millionaire Party rules (202231 TY Millionaire Parties Draft Rules) I found the  
draft changes to be VERY positive. They remove or modify many of the previous rules that seemed to have little or no  
value in providing a Millionaire Party event.  
There is one area that I noted what seems to be an inconsistent change: Demarcated Areas  
Under the draft rules the definition of a Demarcated Area is deleted (R432.101 (k) Which is appropriate.  
The inconsistencies come under "demarcated areas" still being used in the following rules:  
R432.306 (8)  
R432.310 (7)(f)  
R432.317 (4)  
If the draft rules become the new rules hopefully it will follow that many of the application process supplemental  
information will not be required to be submitted in the future.  
Sincerely,  
Gary W. Davis

Hello brother and sister Non Profits!  
We are reaching out to you today to ask you to show your support  
for the Administrative rule changes (listed below) regarding  
Charitable Gaming in Michigan. You can show your support for  
these changes simply by replying to this email with your  
Organization Name, email address, contact name and phone  
number. Your information will only be used should the State wish  
to confirm your support.  
Today, April 12, 2023, the Michigan Charitable Gaming  
Association (MiCGA) will be representing Michigan Non-Profits  
at a meeting regarding potential rule changes with the Michigan  
Gaming Control Board (MGCB). The following are rules we  
support changing.  
1) Advertising: Non-profits hosting Charitable Gaming Events  
are required to follow advertising rules that are not applicable  
to other fund-raising projects nor are they applicable to other  
Gaming Industries such as tribal and non-tribal casinos. We  
support a change in advertising rules that are equal to any  
other fund-raising projects or any other tribal or non tribal  
gaming events.  
2) Tipping with Chips: Using chips for tips is a Gaming  
Industry standard yet for some reason that we have been  
unable to determine, the MGCB rules require non-profits to  
tell patrons they are not allowed to tip with chips that they  
have purchased on a dollar for dollar basis ($1 = $1 chip etc).  
The reason for tipping dealers with chips is the simplicity of  
it. Patrons, as a general rule, do not ask charities for dollar  
bill change as often as they might throw a one dollar chip for  
a tip. That is why it is a Gaming Industry standard practice.  
In regard to security, there is no more secure way to tip than  
to have a lock box on the table for all to see (charities,  
players, dealers and floor managers etc) and require the  
players themselves to drop their tip chips into a locked box  
that only the host Charity can open, count and redeem. The  
charity then hands the tip to the Dealer (dealer never touches  
the tip chips). Anything less simply encourages dealers (after  
being trained) to move on to casinos or illegal home games  
where they can make more money. We support asking for  
nothing more than what is gaming industry standard. Good  
Dealers mean more funds raised for the non-profits. Dealers  
should not be encouraged to move on because of unfair  
tipping rules.  
3) Small business income caps: Many, if not most, non-profits  
use a licensed Supplier to work these events for us. Suppliers  
provide equipment (poker tables, chips and other necessary  
supplies) as well as dealers and floor management etc. In  
other word these small businesses bear the burden/cost of  
these events while non-profits provide a minimum of two  
member volunteers who for the most part sell and redeem  
chips. To protect non-profits the MGCB requires a 55%  
(Charity) and 45% (Supplier) split which is fair and  
understandable. However there is a double cap on the  
Supplier. They are also limited to $900 per day or $3600 for  
a four day event regardless of the effort/investment they put  
into it.. We need these small businesses to succeed; to do the  
best they can for us. We need to give them incentive, not  
stifle them. We support the 55/45% rule but we also support  
the elimination of the daily/event cap.  
PLEASE RESPOND WITH YOUR SUPPORT  
TODAY…HELP US HELP EACH OTHER….THANK YOU

PROPOSED RULE CHANGES  
CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to abuse@michigan.gov  
Good Afternoon,  
I have reviewed the proposed rule changes and wish to add the following proposed changes:  
1. It is time to allow suppliers the right to advertise. The rules on advertising are antiquated. What  
other business is not allowed the fundamenta right to advertise their business? Without the ability to  
advertise, it is nearly impossible for a new supplier to successfully open up a new room. Suppliers  
are already at a financial disadvantage since their profits are capped and they are required to give the  
charity 55% of the event profits. Moreover, suppliers have to compete with casinos, online gaming  
and illegal home games. Individuals that run home games brazenly advertise their games that offer  
free food, alcohol and drugs. Limiting advertising increases the workload of your staff. They have to  
constantly "police" the complaints of "illegal advertising" -what a waste of work hours. What is the  
reasoning behind this antiquated rule?  
2. Allow chip tipping. Chip tipping is better for the charities and the dealers. It is better for the dealers  
because they will make more money. It is better for the charities because it means less transactions.  
Fewer transactions equals fewer mistakes. The charity is constantly redeeming chips so players can  
tip the dealers in cash. I realized that the state is concerned about theft and the dealers access to the  
chips. Systems have been proposed to avoid this... lock boxes, etc.  
Respectfully submitted,

act and as represented to the executive director by means of the information submitted to the  
executive director as required by R 432.201, or the failure to continuously operate as an  
organization or persons issued a license under section 34 of the act, MCL 432.134.  
R 432.112 (5) The person or persons that have been served with a contested case hearing  
notice may file a written answer before the date set for the contested case hearing or may  
appear at the contested case hearing and present an oral statement on the charges contained  
in the contested case hearing notice. If written briefs or arguments are presented, then a copy  
shall be served on the hearing officer not less than 5 days before the date set for the contested  
case hearing.  
R 432.112 (6) If the person or persons that have been previously served with a contested case  
hearing notice fail to appear at the contested case hearing, then the hearing officer may  
proceed with the contested case hearing and may, on the evidence presented, make a decision.  
R 432.310 (7) (f) Ensuring only authorized persons are present in the demarcated area.

Millionaire Party rules-public hearing  
CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to abuse@michigan.gov  
Hello, my name is Sandie Morse and I am a supplier in West Michigan. Regrettably, I cannot be present on April12 for  
the public hearing. I appreciate the opportunity to express my opinions and concerns regarding the current wording and  
rules.  
I am sure many have expressed concern about the limitations and excessive work that the current “chips for tips” policy  
imposes. Currently all of the casinos in the state are allowed to use chips to tip dealers. The players are used to this  
method and they prefer it to the extra effort of redeeming chips one or two at a time and delaying the game while they  
do so. The charity also suffers in this scenario, as they are constantly having to redeem very small amounts multiple  
times in an hour, which opens the door for human error and their attention is focused on this mundane task instead of  
focusing on the transactions that impact their financial success of the event. Ultimately, the dealers suffer the most.  
They all work service positions and depend on tips from players to survive. The inconvenience of the current system  
does cut down on the tips that are receiving and it slows the game down so fewer hands are played, tipped on, and even  
raked.  
The second issue I would like to weigh in on is the limitations that are put on the charities and the suppliers in regards to  
advertising. The success of new rooms and existing rooms are incredibly limited if suppliers are not able to advertise for  
our charity events. Word of mouth only goes so far to let players know what games are available. In a time where social  
media is free and people are constantly checking, it only seems reasonable that we should be able to post regular games  
on behalf of our charities. In the long run, it is the charities that will benefit the most from allowing effective  
advertising.  
Thank you for taking the time to read my positions on these issues.

I have read these draft rules and there are many non specific changes that give me pause. Being a  
charity the non specific changes could have a direct affect on us. Mainly the changes that the  
Executive Director has sole discretion to the decision process is concerning to me, these are the  
rules that currently have a sense of direction. I would like to receive a copy of the final draft that  
would be presented at the Public Hearing, this would help ease my concerns. Thank You.
