William Bray+FollowDetroit casinos keep the city buzzingDetroit’s casinos are still a major force in the city’s economy, pulling in over $108 million in gaming revenue this November. MGM Grand Detroit continues to dominate, grabbing nearly half the market, while MotorCity and Hollywood Casino at Greektown follow.
