Detroit casino revenue edges up month-on-month in May

Aggregate revenue for the month amounted to $110.0m (£77.6m/€90.2m), up 0.9% from $109.0m in April this year.

The MGCB noted that year-on-year comparisons were not available as casinos were closed for all of May 2020 due to state-wide restrictions related to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

However, the regulator did reveal that revenue was 12.6% lower than the $125.8m posted in May of 2019, but added that casinos are currently having to operate at limited capacity in line with continuing Covid-19 measures.

Of the total revenue generated in May, $108.0m was attributed to slots and table games – up 0.5% from April, while sports betting revenue climbed 20.0% to $1.8m.
