Detroit’s three commercial casinos generated $112.57 million in aggregate revenue in July 2026, as table-game and slot revenue rose both year over year and from June, according to figures published by the Michigan Gaming Control Board on August 11.
Table games and slots accounted for $111.64 million of the total, an increase of 5.3% compared with July 2025 and 9.6% compared with June 2026. Retail sports betting contributed another $929,704 in qualified adjusted gross receipts, although that figure was 9.9% below the same month last year.
The figures cover MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino and Hollywood Casino at Greektown. They do not represent Michigan’s statewide online casino or online sports-betting market, which the MGCB reports separately.

All Three Detroit Casinos Increased Gaming Revenue
All three Detroit commercial casinos reported higher table-game and slot revenue compared with July 2025.
MGM remained the market leader with $52.5 million in July gaming revenue, an increase of 3.3% from the prior-year period. Its share of the Detroit commercial casino market stood at 47%.
MotorCity recorded the strongest percentage increase among the three properties. Revenue increased 8.7% to $34.32 million, giving the casino a 31% market share.
Hollywood Casino at Greektown generated $24.82 million, representing a 5.2% annual increase and 22% of the market.
For comparison, the MGCB reported July 2025 table-game and slot revenue of approximately $106 million across the three properties. MGM recorded $50.8 million that month, MotorCity $31.6 million and Hollywood Casino at Greektown $23.6 million.
July Results Rebound From June
The July figures also marked a significant monthly improvement.
Detroit casino table-game and slot revenue totaled $101.84 million in June 2026, compared with $111.64 million in July. The regulator calculated the resulting monthly increase at 9.6%.
The improvement also strengthened the year-to-date comparison. From January 1 through July 31, 2026, Detroit table-game and slot revenue was 1.9% higher than during the corresponding seven months of 2025.
That distinction is important: the 1.9% figure relates specifically to casino-floor table games and slots, rather than retail sports betting or statewide internet gambling.
Detroit Casinos Generate $9 Million in State Gaming Taxes
The three casinos paid approximately $9.0 million in Michigan gaming taxes based on their July table-game and slot activity, up from $8.6 million in July 2025.
They also reported $13.3 million in wagering taxes and development-agreement payments to the City of Detroit.
The tax figures provide another indication of the effect the stronger July gaming-floor performance had on state and municipal revenue.
Retail Sports Betting Moves Differently From Casino Floor
Retail sports betting presented a more mixed picture.
Detroit’s three casinos accepted $5.88 million in retail sports wagers during July. Gross receipts totaled $939,620, while QAGR—the measure used by the regulator for the revenue comparison—was $929,704.
Retail sports-betting QAGR increased 11.2% from June 2026, but remained 9.9% below July 2025.
MotorCity recorded the highest July retail sports-betting QAGR at $461,165. MGM followed at $360,265, while Hollywood Casino at Greektown reported $108,274.
The casinos paid $35,143 in state taxes and submitted another $42,952 in wagering taxes to Detroit from July retail sports-betting activity.
$112.57M Figure Does Not Include Michigan Online Casino Revenue
For readers following the wider U.S. iGaming market, the scope of the report is important.
Michigan regulates legal internet casino gaming and online sports wagering, but those results are reported separately from the monthly Detroit commercial-casino figures. The MGCB’s June internet-gaming report, for example, covered commercial and tribal online operators independently from the Detroit land-based revenue release.
That means July’s $112.57 million should not be described as Michigan’s total gambling revenue or its online casino revenue.
It is specifically the aggregate figure reported for Detroit’s three commercial casinos, combining gaming-floor revenue with retail sports-betting QAGR.
What the July Results Show
The July report points to improving performance across Detroit’s physical casino market.
All three properties increased table-game and slot revenue compared with July 2025, MotorCity recorded the strongest percentage growth, and overall gaming-floor revenue was substantially higher than in June.
Retail sports betting did not follow the same annual trend, with QAGR remaining below July 2025 despite improving from June.
The next monthly MGCB release will show whether the stronger casino-floor performance continues into August.
Responsible Gambling and Michigan Rules
Detroit casino gambling is restricted to people 21 and older under Michigan law. The MGCB also provides self-exclusion and responsible-gaming resources for Michigan residents.
OnlineCryptoCasino.us also maintains a responsible gambling resource covering risk awareness, gambling limits and support options.
Gambling outcomes are uncertain, and monthly casino revenue figures reflect operator performance rather than evidence that individual players are likely to win.
