DraftKings Launches Real Money Online Poker in Michigan Called Electric Poker

Sports betting and casino giant DraftKings has launched a true player-vs-player online poker game called Electric Poker in Michigan. It could go down as one of the most important developments in US online poker in the last decade.

Players with an existing DraftKings Casino Michigan account can find the game in the casino lobby, on desktop or on mobile. Michigan online poker players who don’t yet have a DraftKings account can sign up today.

By signing up to play DraftKings Poker through our link, you can also claim a special Play $1, Get $100 Casino Credits instant bonus. However, at the time of writing, that $100 casino credits bonus cannot be used to play Electric Poker, however, any winnings derived from play using the bonus can be used at the Electric Poker tables.

Don’t be put off by the fact that Electric Poker is in the casino lobby. This is not a casino game where you play against the house: it is a true real money online poker game, where you will play against two other real opponents and compete for a real money cash prize.

Electric Poker is a lottery or “jackpot” sit and go game, like PokerStars Spin and Go or WSOP’s Blast — a three-handed, winner-takes-all online poker tournament where the winning prize is randomized at the start of the tournament.

These have become one of the most popular formats of poker online because they are fast, fun, great for mobile play, and offer a chance of winning a big prize. But they are also competitive — smart players can win a profit long-term playing these games.

DraftKings’ take on the format looks like a great edition. There’s a good spread of buy-ins, the rake is reasonable, the multipliers look good, the payouts are well spread and the software appears to be very slick. You can multi-table up to four tables — even on mobile! — and there’s a hand history replayer.

And in the early days, DraftKings’ game is likely to be extremely soft as casino and sports players try it out for the first time.
