The Michigan Gaming Control Board reported that Detroit casinos produced $103.7 million in October revenue, which is a 26.9% year-over-year increase.
Detroit casinos got back to normal this fall, posting a revenue number in line with what they earned in 2022. That’s a significant improvement over last October, when earnings were impacted because of a 47-day casino-employee strike that began in October and stretched into early December.
November is likely going to be a bigger year-over-year increase, as the strike lasted three weeks for two of the casinos and the full month for MGM Grand Detroit.
The pandemic in 2020 and the strike from last year knocked Detroit casinos out of whack. It now appears that things are returning to a level of normalcy.
