The summer of 2023 brought a whirlwind of change for casinos & sportsbooks in Michigan as operators and platforms were switched out in the Wolverine State.
In what is turning out to be a transformative year for mobile sports betting in MI, the operator announced last week that it would end operations in eight other states and will also reevaluate NY.
Online gaming usually drops in May at the beginning of the summer, but the decline this year has been more pronounced than what was observed in 2021 and 2022.
Data show three commercial casinos in the state still lead 12 tribal casinos in terms of online casino revenue and handle from online sports betting. But both leads are narrowing.
Gaming regulators from CO, IL, LA, MS, NJ, NV, and MI call on AG Merrick Garland to protect consumers from illegal offshore gambling sites.
The state’s three commercial casinos have generated $261.9 million in revenue so far in 2023 vs. the $211.8 million made by the twelve tribal casinos.
BetMGM, DraftKings, & FanDuel lead Michigan’s iGaming market in record month. Four smaller operators also set records in Michigan’s online casino industry
The online casino with the Sports Illustrated (SI) theme finally launches. The platform replaces TwinSpires Casino MI, which exited the market last September.
Data from the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) show the state’s three commercial casinos stayed ahead of 12 tribal casinos in terms of online casino revenue and handle in 2022.
BetMGM Casino MI, DraftKings Casino MI, and FanDuel Casino MI broke monthly revenue records, as did smaller operators FourWinds and PlayEagle.
