The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued a summary suspension order against Churchill Downs Technology Initiatives Company, for its TwinSpires Racebook.

The MGCB announcement cites multiple violations of Michigan’s gaming laws and the Horse Racing Law of 1995.

The suspension arises from TwinSpires’ continued operation of advance deposit wagering (ADW) services for Michigan residents, despite a formal directive to cease such activities.
