More than Two Dozen Malik / Ilitch Gaming Affiliates Pursue Casino Plans in CA, MI & NY

More than two dozen entities believed to be gaming related affiliates of Detroit casino syndicators Michael Malik and Marian Ilitch have been organized in Michigan and recorded with the Michigan Department of Corporations.  These affiliates are believed associated with various proposals to develop and manage Indian casinos in Port Huron (MI) and Barstow (CA) and on Long Island (NY). Malik/Ilitch began promoting schemes in Port Huron nearly two decades ago.  They have chased similar schemes in Barstow and on Long Island for nearly a decade.

The resident agent on record for most of these entities is either Malik, attorney William Serwer, or John Kotlar, vice president of Tax Affairs at Ilitch Holdings, Inc.

While this table of gaming affiliates below is comprehensive it may not be inclusive of all such entities. It was compiled based on previous public representations made by Malik, Ilitch or their agents.
