Detroit’s three commercial casinos generated $107.4 million in revenue in October, according to new figures released by the Michigan Gaming Control Board on Thursday.

While the month delivered modest gains in several key segments, the industry remains slightly behind last year’s pace as it heads into the final months of 2025.

Table games and slot machines — the core of Detroit’s casino economy — produced $105.9 million in October revenue. That marks a 2.2% increase over October 2024 and a 7.9% rise from September, signaling renewed consumer activity as fall gaming traffic picks up.

Still, the year-to-date outlook tells a more tempered story. From January through October, revenue from table games and slots is down 1.1% compared with the same period in 2024, underscoring how uneven the market has been throughout 2025.
