It seems 2025 wasn’t the jackpot year for Detroit’s casino sector. According to a report from the Michigan Gaming Control Board, the city’s casino trio – MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown – pulled in $105.1 million during December. While this might sound like a win, the numbers mark a slight slump in the economic vitality that these establishments once enjoyed. The December figures reflect a 5.4% decline in year-over-year comparison for table games and slots. Also, digging into the details reveals retail sports betting wasn’t the game changer one might have hoped, bringing in just $1.7 million.
Breaking down the market share, MGM continued to lead with 49%, followed by MotorCity’s 29%, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown holding 22%.
