According to the 2023 Tribal Gaming Report released by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, the state’s tribal casinos saw a 1.4% decrease in payments to local entities last year.
Tribal casinos make up a large portion of the casinos in Michigan, 23 of the 26 to be exact, with the other three located in downtown Detroit. The revenue report discloses the payments tribes make to local units of state government based on slot revenue from their Class III machines.
