That represents a 9.3% increase over June’s results. There’s no way to compare with July 2020, as the casinos were closed the entire month due to COVID-19 health restrictions, but the results came in slightly below July 2019’s $119 million total.

Out of that total, table games and slots generated $115.7 million in revenue while retail sports betting generated $1.2 million, according to the MGCB.

For the month, MGM Grand Detroit reported revenue of $53.8 million, while MotorCity Casino Hotel reported $38.5 million and Greektown Casino reported $23.4 million. MGM Grand had the largest market share of 46% while Motor City trailed with 34% and Greektown came in at 20%.
