But with the FanDuel partnership, a retail sportsbook was bound to happen. And it did, opening shortly after the deal was announced. However, it also opened the week most sports canceled or postponed seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The gambling industry in Michigan eventually shut down completely for five months.

When MotorCity reopened in August, the two-story FanDuel Sportsbook was ready. MotorCity Casino Hotel converted its Chromatics and Spectators live music venues into a new sportsbook.

The two-story space features big screen TVs, plush seating, two bars, and several self-serve kiosks and betting windows.

All Michigan Casinos and Sportsbooks

MotorCity Casino Hotel history

In 1996, Michigan voters approved a proposal to build three new commercial casinos in Detroit. In 1997, Michigan lawmakers passed the Michigan Gaming Control & Revenue Act giving three projects the go ahead.

The temporary MotorCity Casino facility officially opened on Dec. 14, 1999.

The temporary home incorporated a building that once housed the Wagner Baking Company, famous for making Wonder Bread.

Permanent hotel and casino

The MotorCity Casino ownership group included the Mandalay Resort Group, Little Caesars Pizza billionaire Marian Ilitch, a group of more than 100 local investors dubbed Atwater Entertainment, and local investor Tom Celani.

Is Motor City Casino Open

In 2005, MGM Mirage, owners of the MGM Grand Detroit, acquired Mandalay Resort Group. Because Michigan law prohibits the ownership of more than one commercial casino, MGM Mirage was forced to sell one.

Ilitch became the sole owner of the MotorCity Casino at that time, paying $525 million for Mandalay’s 53.5% stake, $106 million for Atwater Entertainment’s 11.5% stake, and purchasing Celani’s 10% stake for an undisclosed amount.

At the time, Ilitch claimed buying the casino was a part of her family’s commitment to Detroit’s economic revival.

Motorcity Casino Online Gaming

She went ahead with a $300 million expansion project that included construction of a 400-room, 17-story hotel tower. The new Motor City Casino Hotel opened for business in 2007.

MotorCity Casino Hotel now boasts being the only locally-owned and operated casino in Detroit.

The three Detroit commercial casinos combine to post record revenues of $1.454 billion in 2019. MotorCity Casino saw its highest revenue totals ever, with $493.6 million in annual revenue, second only to MGM Grand Detroit’s $623.5 million.
