Detroit’s three commercial casinos posted a strong April, reporting a combined $118.9 million in revenue as the market continued to build momentum heading into the summer months. After a down March, it’s the most successful April since 2019, when properties reported $125.1 million.

According to figures released by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, the city’s casinos generated $118 million from table games and slots in April, up 7.8% from April 2025 and 5.8% higher than March 2026. Retail sports wagering added another $837,397 in qualified adjusted gross receipts.

MGM Grand Detroit once again led the market with a 49% share and the largest year-over-year gain among the three casinos. The property reported $58.4 million in table games and slot revenue, a 14.1% increase from the same month last year.
