Detroit’s three commercial casinos reported combined revenue of $108.2 million in November 2025 as reported by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB).

Key Takeaways:

  • Detroit’s three casinos generated $108.2 million in revenue in November 2025
  • Industry shows slight year-over-year increase in table games and slots
  • Sports betting remains a small but growing part of the revenue mix

Table games and slot machines accounted for $106.5 million of that total while retail sports betting contributed $1.7 million. MGM Grand Detroit led the market with a 47% share, MotorCity Casino 30% and Hollywood Casino at Greektown 23%. 

The casinos paid $8.63 million in state gaming taxes and remitted $13.2 million in wagering taxes and development agreement payments to the City of Detroit. 

The results follow recent confirmation from state regulators that all three Detroit casinos have had their licenses renewed, reinforcing regulatory stability as operators navigate uneven revenue trends.

Table games and slots revenue edged up 0.1% versus November 2024 and 0.5% from October 2025, yet year-to-date combined revenue remained down about 1.0% relative to the prior year, reflecting a cautious recovery trend seen across monthly MGCB releases through 2025. 

Casino Revenue Growth Remains Modest

According to Yogonet, MGM reported $50.7 million in slots and table revenue (up 3.0% year-over-year), MotorCity $31.4 million (down 5.0%) and Greektown $24.4 million (up 1.0%). 

MGCB shows monthly fluctuations earlier in 2025 with totals between $95.9 million (May) and $108.2 million (November).

Retail sports betting activity produced a $14.4 million combined handle and $1.7 million in gross receipts; qualified adjusted gross receipts fell 10.8% year-over-year but rose 10.8% from October 2025.
