Detroit Suffers Financially As Casinos Remain Closed

Detroit's three casinos await Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's approval to reopen. Closed since March 16, Whitmer recently extended Covid-19 lockdowns. Meanwhile, the state and the city have received $0 in tax revenue since the three casinos (MotorCity at left) produced $0 in April, May and June combined, compared to $44 million in 2019 for Detroit.
