Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, casinos in Detroit, Michigan managed to surpass $100 million in monthly aggregate revenue last month, according to recent results.
MGM, Greektown Revenue Grows in January
The Michigan Gaming Control Board unveiled figures on Tuesday regarding the revenue which casinos in Detroit raised in January. According to the recent report, the three casinos in Detroit reported $100.9 million in aggregate revenue last month.

In contrast, MotorCity’s revenue hit $29.9 million, marking a 9.9% decrease when compared to January 2021. According to the MGCB, one of the reasons why gaming revenues plummeted last year was the pandemic-related capacity limits.
