Detroit casinos reported $105.1 million in aggregate revenue for December 2025, capping a year that saw the local gaming market maintain much of its strength even as it slightly lagged behind 2024 figures, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB).
For the full 2025 calendar year, MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown generated roughly $1.28 billion in revenue from slots, table games and retail sports wagering. That total dipped modestly from the $1.29 billion reported in 2024, illustrating a flattening in land-based gaming growth after recent expansions in Michigan online casinos and Michigan sportsbooks.
Monthly and quarterly trends
December’s haul of $103.4 million in slots and table games revenue marked a 5.4% decrease compared with the same month a year earlier. It also decreased 2.9% from November.
Quarterly figures echoed that trend: Aggregate revenue for Q4 2025 was down about 1.1% from the final quarter of 2024.
Market share among the Detroit casinos remained relatively stable, with MGM Grant Detroit leading at 48%, followed by MotorCity Casino at 30%, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown at 22% for the year.
Retail sports wagering shows growth
Although table games and slots bore the brunt of the year-over-year softening, retail sports betting results bucked the overall trend.
Detroit’s land-based sportsbooks reported increased qualified adjusted gross receipts (QAGR) in 2025 – up nearly 46% over 2024, albeit from a relatively small base – signaling growing local interest in in-house wagering options.
Looking back at 2024
In contrast, 2024 saw most of Detroit’s gaming segments expand. According to the MGCB, table games and slots revenue for the Detroit casinos climbed about 4.9% year-over-year, helping the industry reach $1.28 billion for that calendar year.
Meanwhile, the broader Michigan gaming landscape – including iGaming and sports wagering – continued to grow robustly, driven primarily by internet gaming revenues. Both verticals combined for nearly $2.9 billion in total gross receipts in 2024, up substantially from 2023.
What’s ahead
As the land-based sector settles into relatively flat performance, industry watchers will be eyeing whether 2026 brings renewed momentum – particularly from online integration and expanded retail offerings – or whether Detroit’s casinos will need new strategies to reignite growth.
