Online casinos and sports betting operators in Michigan reported a combined $195.7 million in revenue in April, down 9.6% from the previous month.

For the month, online casinos generated $159.4 million in revenue while online sports betting brought in $36.3 million, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

The online casino numbers fell short of March’s record-setting revenue for the state of some $171.8 million. Online sports betting revenue also was down from March’s $44.6 million.

Still, the results reflected another “massive” month for online casinos, Paul Costanzo, an analyst for industry analysis site PlayMichigan.com, said in a statement.“As expected, Michigan online casinos had another massive month, even if the total was just shy of March’s record revenue haul,” Costanzo said.
