Eight different Michigan tribal casinos saw a decrease in reported gaming payments in 2022.

According to the 2022 Tribal Gaming Report released by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, Michigan’s 23 tribal casinos had a 2.2% collective decrease in its reported payments to local entities from 2021.

Each year, the MGCB releases information on the payments tribes make to local units of state government based on slot revenue from their Class III machines.

That number represents roughly 2% of the casino’s respective net win accrued over the year. It’s the lone public insight into annual tribal casino revenue in Michigan.
