Michigan Casino Performance
Michigan is home to dozens of tribal casinos, although the state’s board does not report results from these venues.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board has released a report on the three casinos it oversees: the MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown.
In terms of market share, MGM Grand Detroit holds 49%, roughly in line with its share in September. MotorCity Casino accounted for 29%, with Hollywood Casino at Greektown taking the remaining 22%.
Combined, the casinos generated $107.4 million in revenue, up from $98.9 million in September.
The $105.9 million in table and slot game revenue was a 2.2% increase compared with the year before and a 7.9% improvement on September 2025.
MGM Grand Detroit saw the most significant improvement, adding 6.6% to October 2024’s figures and delivering $52.7 million in revenue.
Despite having the lowest revenue figures, Hollywood Casino at Greektown also posted gains, with its $22.7 million revenue representing a 0.8% annual increase.
MotorCity Casino actually saw a decline in revenue, with figures falling 3.8% to $30.5 million in October 2025.
The increase in revenues meant the casinos paid slightly more in state gaming taxes compared to 2024. The three contributed $8.6 million on October 25, an improvement from the $8.4 million spent in the same period last year.
