Detroit casinos rebounded from a down June to generate $107 million in July.
The three properties produced $106 million from slots and table games, a 5.6% increase from June’s figures and a slight 0.3% decrease from July of 2024.
As expected, revenue from sports betting was low.
Retail casino industry remains stable
Detroit casinos posted a carbon copy performance in July 2025 compared to the same month since the pandemic:
- July 2022: $105.9 million
- July 2023: $106.7 million
- July 2024: $106.3 million
- July 2025: $106.0 million
Properties did post $115.7 million in July 2021, which appears to be a post-pandemic anomaly.
So far this year, Detroit casinos have accumulated $745.6 million in revenue. That puts the market on pace for nearly $1.28 billion by the end of the year, which is slightly lower than 2024.
All three properties gained more revenue compared to the previous month, with Hollywood Casino at Greektown enjoying the largest percentage increase:
- Hollywood Casino at Greektown: $21.3 million, up 10.8% from June ($21.3 million)
- MGM Grand Detroit: $50.8 million, up 5% from June ($48.4 million)
- MotorCity Casino: $31.6 million, up 3.3% from June ($30.6 million)
Retail betting handle down
With July being the slowest month on the sports calendar, retail sports betting handle usually suffers.
The Detroit properties posted a combined $5.7 million in handle last month. It was the lowest retail handle since sports betting became legal in late 2019. Here’s July handle over the last five years:
- July 2021: $18.3 million
- July 2022: $18.7 million
- July 2023: $8.0 million
- July 2024: $6.6 million
- July 2025: $5.7 million
Retail sportsbooks generated about $1 million in revenue last month.
