MGM Grand Detroit Casino accounted for 46 per cent of the market share, MotorCity Casino 31 per cent and Hollywood Casino at Greektown 23 per cent.
Table games and slot revenue decreased 18.9 per cent when compared to October 2022 and 18.3 per cent from September 2023. MGM’s revenue decreased 19.6 per cent year-on-year to $37.3m, MotorCity was down 22.8 per cent to $25m and Hollywood Casino at Greektown decreased 11.7 per cent to $19.4m.
