MotorCity Casino Gains 15.6% as MGM and Greektown Slip in Detroit’s October Revenue ReadWrite Editor | usagoldmines.com

Growth at MotorCity Casino outweighed declines at MGM Grand Detroit and Hollywood Casino at Greektown, lifting Detroit’s October table and slot revenue from a year earlier. Retail sports betting also rebounded sharply from September, adding to the month’s gains.

MotorCity Casino was the only Detroit property to grow table games and slot revenue in October from a year earlier. Its rivals both lost ground. MGM Grand Detroit slipped 2.7% to $51.3 million. Hollywood Casino at Greektown fell 5.0% to $21.6 million.

Across the three casinos, tables and slots generated $108.1 million. That was up 2.1% from October 2025 and 5.2% from September 2026. Year-to-date revenue from January through October was up 2.3%.

CDC Gaming Reports said October was the Detroit casinos’ highest-revenue month since 2021. It put October 2025 table and slot revenue at $105.9 million.

MotorCity widens its gains as MGM and Greektown lose ground

MGM still holds the largest piece of the market. It took 47% of Detroit’s October revenue. MotorCity held 33%, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown held 20%.

The October split continues a pattern from late summer. In August, MotorCity rose 8.3% to $33.8 million and MGM grew 2.3% to $52.9 million, while Greektown fell 2.6% to $22.2 million, InterGame reported. Detroit’s August total was $109.7 million.

Greektown’s slide deepened in September, when its revenue fell 8.8% year over year to $21.34 million. October’s decline was smaller. MGM, by contrast, moved from growth in August to a decline in October.

The citywide trend has been uneven. September table and slot revenue was 4.7% higher than a year earlier but 5.6% lower than in August. October’s rebound lifted aggregate revenue above September’s $103.55 million.

Retail sportsbook receipts climb $1.6 million from September

Retail sports betting produced $2.4 million in October. That compares with $769,771 in retail QAGR in September. Handle at the Detroit casinos was $12.87 million for the month.

MotorCity also led the sportsbook results. It posted $928,607 in retail receipts. MGM followed at $746,215, with Hollywood Casino at Greektown close behind at $729,350.

The sportsbook activity generated $90,878 in state taxes. The casinos also sent $111,073 in sports wagering taxes to Detroit.

The city’s take from the casinos goes well beyond sports betting. In October, Detroit collected $13.4 million from the three properties, combining its share of gaming taxes with sums owed under each casino’s agreement with the city.

Fantasy contests remain a small part of the picture. Operators reported $837,938 in adjusted revenues for September 2026 and paid $70,387 in taxes.

Detroit’s land-based results now set a baseline for Michigan’s October online casino and sports betting figures, which come next. In September, the state’s commercial and tribal online operators took in $355.7 million in combined iGaming and online sports betting gross receipts, 5.4% more than in August.
