Detroit’s casino revenue for the three land-based venues have generated an aggregate monthly total of $109.44Million for April 2024.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of the revenue came via slots and table games. In total, the figure was confirmed as $107.87m. This was an 11.8% decrease compared to March 2024.<\/p>\n However, it was a 1.6% decrease when comparing year-on-year. In terms of gaming taxes, the three Detroit casinos paid $8.74m to the state of Michigan in April.<\/p>\n There was a further $12.8m paid to the City of Detroit via wagering taxes and development agreement payments. Just $1.57m of the aggregate revenue came from retail and sports betting.<\/p>\n In total, the three Detroit casinos reported a total retail sports betting handle of $15.28m. The reports also confirmed that $59,362 was paid in gaming taxes.<\/p>\n A further $142,718 in wagering taxes was paid to the City of Detroit. April market shares for the MGM Grand stood at 46%. MotorCity was 30% with the Hollywood Casino at Greektown 24%.<\/p>\n Perhaps surprisingly, the Detroit NFL draft failed to help boost the city’s casinos revenue towards the end of April 2024. Despite welcoming approximately 775,000 fans.<\/p>\n Therefore, it’s fair to assume the vast majority of visitors chose to spend their time in Motor City outside and enjoying the festivities. As opposed to trying their luck in the land-based casinos.<\/p>\n Considering April was the first month this year that saw a month-over-month decrease, it may be a cause for concern from the casinos perspective.<\/p>\n However, Detroit casinos aren\u2019t too far off from the total revenue generated through the first four months from years prior. In 2020, $299.2m was reported.<\/p>\n 2021 saw a sizable increase compared to the year previous, generating a total of $391.6m. Two years ago, $432.3m was posted with $435.8m in 2023. In 2024, the total is $428.8m.<\/p>\nDetroit’s Casino Revenue<\/h2>\n
