While retail sports betting revenue increased from the $400,000 loss reported for July 2024, table games and slot revenue fell 0.3% from the prior year period for a total of $106m.

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has reported the city’s casino activity throughout the month of July 2025, as revenue increased 1% year-over-year to $107m, despite table games and slot revenue having fallen 0.3% from the prior year period for a total of $106m. 

For July 2025, MGM Grand Detroit led all properties in table games and slot revenue with a total of $50.8m, but the figure also represents a decrease of 0.9% year-over-year. MotorCity Casino managed to increase its table games and slot revenue by 1.2% from the prior year period to $31.6m, while Hollywood Casino at Greektown reported a decrease of 0.9% to $23.6m. 

The three casinos also paid nearly $8.6m to the state in gaming taxes for July 2025, as well as $12.6m in wagering taxes and development agreement payments to the City of Detroit. 

The MGCB also reported a retail sports wagering handle of $5.7m for the period, equating to a decrease of 13.4% from the prior year period despite the offering witnessing an increase in revenue from the $400,000 loss reported for July 2024. 

Good to know: The MGCB reported the state’s iGaming and online sports wagering revenue for May 2025 on June 17, including a total figure of $301.4m, representing an increase of 25.9% from the prior year period
