In-person casino gambling remained popular with Motor City bettors in June.
According to a recent report from the Michigan Gaming Control Board, Detroit’s three commercial brick-and-mortar casinos yielded a total Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) of $105.4 million for June, up 2.6% year-over-year.
Of the total AGR, $104.5 million came from slots and table games, with the remaining revenue from retail sports betting.
MGM Grand Detroit held the largest share of the market in June, collecting 46% of the total AGR. Reporting $48.7 million in revenue, MGM saw a 3.6% year-over-year rise.
MotorCity Casino came in second place with a 30% market share. However, the operator's $31.4 million AGR was a 3.1% decrease from June 2023.
Hollywood Casino at Greektown took the remaining 24% of the monthly market share with $24.3 million, a 9% increase compared to the same month last year.
The three Detroit casinos paid a combined $8.5 million in taxes to the state, a 2.4% increase year-on-year.
Bounceback year
While last month's AGR represents a 6% decline from the $111.3 million generated in May, it's the highest June revenue recorded since June 2021, which peaked at $105.8 million.
With a combined $644.7 million AGR from slots and table games in the first six months of 2024, Michigan’s casinos are having their most successful year since 2019.
