Detroit’s three commercial casinos generated $107 million in revenue during July, a 2.4% increase compared to the $104.5 million this time last year.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board released the results, which included $106 million from table games and $1 million from retail sports betting, showing a mixed performance across revenue streams.
MGM Grand Detroit led the city with $50.8 million in revenue, but was down 0.9% year-over-year from $51.3 million. MotorCity Casino reported $31.6 million, the same as last year, while Hollywood Casino at Greektown saw revenue decline 0.9% year-over-year, dropping from $24 million to $23.6 million.
While revenue rose year-over-year, revenue specifically from table games and slot machines dipped slightly, from $106.3 million. This marked a 0.3% decrease compared to July 2024, though it was a 5.6% improvement over June.
Retail sports betting provided a significant boost, generating $1 million in gross receipts from a $5.7 million handle, substantially higher than its contribution in July 2024.
State gaming taxes paid by the casinos totaled $8.58 million in July, slightly down from $8.61 million in July 2024. Payments to the City of Detroit totaled $12.6 million, with an additional $47,674 in city wagering taxes coming from retail sports betting.
