What goes up must come down.
Detroit's three casinos — MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown — made a total of $108.2 million in November 2025.
This was slightly less than the $108.3 million they made in November 2024.
This steadiness happened because there was a tiny 0.1% increase in the money made from slot machines and table games, which added up to $106.5 million. But money from in-person sports betting dropped by 10.8%, bringing in only $1.7 million.
We've actually seen this type of thing happen before to Detroit's casinos, but online casinos in The Wolverine State continue to do extremely well.
Detroit Casinos' Market Performance
Looking at how each casino did, MGM Grand Detroit was the leader with 47% of the market, making $50.7 million — a 3% increase from last year. MotorCity Casino's earnings went down by 5% to $31.4 million.
Meanwhile, Hollywood Casino at Greektown's earnings went up by 1% to $24.4 million. Both MGM Grand and Greektown made more money from slots and table games, but MotorCity saw its earnings shrink in that area.
Revenue Details and Tax Contributions
In detail, revenue from table games and slots increased by 0.1% compared to last year and rose by 0.5% from October 2025.
However, year-to-date revenue from these games is still down 1.0% compared to 2024. The casinos paid $8.63 million in state taxes and another $13.2 million in city taxes for November.
Revenue from in-person sports betting declined from $1.9 million in 2024 to $1.7 million in 2025. MGM Grand’s sportsbook performed better this year, posting a 28.4% increase, while Greektown’s sportsbook revenue dropped by 37.4%.
Industry Trends and Future Outlook
Even though revenue from Detroit’s casinos has remained relatively steady recently, operators are still facing challenges from the broader economy and increasing competition from online gaming.
November’s numbers show that traditional gaming is holding strong, but the continued decline in sports betting highlights some uncertainty in that segment.
