Table games and slots remained the dominant driver of revenue, generating approximately $103.1 million in the first month of the year, while retail sports wagering contributed roughly $770,000 in revenue.

Detroit’s three commercial casinos reported $103.9 million in combined aggregate revenue for January, marking a small annual increase but a slight pullback from recent months, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

Compared with January 2025, Detroit’s table games and slot revenue showed modest growth, up about 0.8%, suggesting stable demand for traditional casino play. However, overall revenue declined 0.3% from December, when casinos collectively reported $105.1 million in revenue.

Industry analysts noted that December’s seasonally high holiday figures often outpace January, making the slight month-to-month contraction typical for the post-holiday period.
