Paul Costanzo, a Lead Analyst at PlayMichigan, mentioned: “Usually, a Michigan summer season means a slowdown in on-line playing, however that’s not what we noticed in July, as on-line casinos in Michigan had their fourth-best month of all time. The business crossed the $1 billion mark in income for 2023, placing it 2/3s of the best way towards 2022’s complete already. Once more, we see a serious bounce from a yr in the past, because it’s greater than 20% of the whole in July 2022.”
Even larger success is that final yr’s mark was surpassed after solely seven months, and the income is already $27 million larger than in 2022.

Nevertheless, the corporate wasn’t so profitable – with $3.87 million in July, it was the bottom income WynnBet achieved since September 2022, even decrease than in July final yr, when it was $3.92 million.
