The ongoing Detroit casino workers’ strike had a clear, negative impact on revenue for the three Detroit casinos in October.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board reported on Tuesday that the Detroit casinos made $81.7 million in revenue from slots and table games in October. That’s the lowest total the casinos have had since December of 2020 when the casinos were closed for most of the month.
It is also in the revenue range PlayMichigan projected for the month.
Along with the losses from gaming, retail sports betting recorded $18.1 million in handle and $1.1 million in revenue. The handle was a 23% decline from October 2022 ($23.5 million).
