Detroit’s three commercial casinos, including MotorCity Casino, generated a combined $109.7 million in revenue in August. The figure comes from Gaming Intelligence’s Week 38 North America market review.

The roundup did not break out individual results for MotorCity Casino, MGM Grand Detroit, or Hollywood Casino at Greektown. It also did not include a year-over-year comparison for the Detroit total.

Detroit casino revenue was part of a broader U.S. gaming update

Michigan’s August figure appeared alongside revenue and handle updates from several other states in the weekly industry roundup.

Among the larger state totals cited in the report:

  • Pennsylvania combined gambling revenue fell 2% in August to $569.7 million
  • New Jersey gambling revenue fell 4% to $615.7 million
  • Illinois land-based casino gaming revenue rose 11% to $192.8 million
  • Maryland casino gaming revenue declined 6% to $160.0 million
  • Virginia’s five land-based casinos generated $97.6 million, up 15% year over year

The same review also tracked sports betting activity across multiple jurisdictions, including Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Tennessee, Arizona, Missouri, Kentucky, and Vermont.

What the report did and did not say about MotorCity Casino

The source was a multi-state roundup, not a detailed Michigan market report. That means the study did not provide a property-by-property revenue breakdown for MotorCity Casino or the other two Detroit casinos 

It also did not offer additional operational detail about what drove the monthly total.

The broader review also highlighted several industry developments outside Michigan These include a Ninth Circuit ruling involving California tribes and Kalshi, Underdog’s federal lawsuit against Connecticut officials, and Arizona’s award of nine new retail betting licenses.

For now, the verified Michigan-specific figure from the report is the combined $109.7 million August revenue total for Detroit’s retail casinos.
