The three Detroit casinos reported $102.9 million in monthly aggregate revenue (AGR) for the month of October 2024, of which $103.7 million was generated from table games and slots, and negative ($826,796) from retail sports betting.
The October market shares were:
• MGM, 48%
• MotorCity, 30%
• Hollywood Casino at Greektown, 22%
Monthly Table Games, Slot Revenue, and Taxes
The casinos’ revenue for table games and slots for the month of October 2024 increased 26.9% when compared to the same month last year. This remarked increase is due in part to when casino employees went on strike on Oct. 17, 2023, which caused AGR totals to be lower than normal. October’s monthly revenue was 2.4% higher when compared to the previous month, September 2024. From Jan. 1 through Oct. 31, the Detroit casinos’ table games and slots revenue increased by 3.0% compared to the same period last year.
The casinos’ monthly gaming revenue results all increased compared to October 2023:
• MGM, up 32.4% to $49.4 million
• MotorCity, up 26.7% to $31.7 million
• Hollywood Casino at Greektown, up 16.5% to $22.6 million
In October 2024, the three Detroit casinos paid $8.4 million in gaming taxes to the State of Michigan. They paid $6.6 million for the same month last year. The casinos also reported submitting $12.8 million in wagering taxes and development agreement payments to the City of Detroit in October.
Monthly Retail Sports Betting Revenue and Taxes
The three Detroit casinos reported $22.19 million in total retail sports betting handle, and total gross receipts totaled negative ($822,552) for the month of October. Retail sports betting qualified adjusted gross receipts (QAGR) were down by $2.0 million in October when compared to October 2023, and down by $1.6 million when compared to September 2024.
October QAGR by casino was:
• MGM: negative ($474,293)
• MotorCity: negative ($528,408)
• Hollywood Casino at Greektown: $175,905
During October, the casinos paid $6,649 in gaming taxes to the state and reported submitting $8,127 in wagering taxes to the City of Detroit based on their retail sports betting revenue.

21VIRAL, the Latin American-focused games aggregator and solution provider, has onboarded Air Dice Group’s games portfolio.
21VIRAL, which is creating a streamlined integration, onboarding and transparent pricing in the iGaming casino and game aggregation supply vertical, announced the onboarding of Air Dice Group today.
The distribution deal allows 21VIRAL access to Air Dice’s complete portfolio of content. Air Dice specialises in strategy-influenced money games, which are in high demand across Latin America.
Christoph Härtel, CEO of 21VIRAL, said: “Our business is customer-first, and building out a great CRX experience is our goal. Having looked at the market incumbents, we decided to specialise in the Latin American market, given its current growth, which is double-digit, and is expected to maintain high levels of growth over the next 5 to 10 years.”
“We have already onboarded several industry-established operators and game providers in record time using AI to facilitate faster and more streamlined workflows. We are, therefore, delighted to work with Air Dice Group to ensure their massively popular games, such as Wild Cash, Coco Craze, and Book of Goddess, are available to our operator’s portfolio of games content.
However, one of the limiting factors, especially if you are an operator or game provider, is the technical integration expertise and market access within the supply chain. If a game provider wishes to have their games deployed on Operator A’s website, but they are yet to be available to that operator, 21VIRAL’s GameConnector will be the provider’s enabler with all the technical integration, heavy lifting, and onboarding. We will also offer reverse integration, which means that we integrate our GameConnector Platform into their systems – therefore, the operators have less effort.
Simply, it’s a win-win, as many game providers in other territories, such as continental Europe, lack the commercial and technical distribution to enter LatAm—we do all that from them—and the operator gets access to the unique game content in the supply chain that can enhance their players’ engagement and revenue opportunities.”
Rocio Moitino, Director for LatAm, Air Dice Group added: “Latin America has proven to be an expanding and high-growth market for our games content over the last few years, and it continues to increase. We are delighted to increase our market accessibility with 21VIRAL’s team, as they provide faster speed to market to enable operators to access and publish our unique games to their casino lobby in quicker timeframes.”
