After a scorching October in which Michigan online casinos totaled $261.7 million in revenue, earnings fell to $233.3 million in November. The market felt the sting of a significant revenue drop-off from its top three online gaming products: Motor City Casino, MGM Grand Detroit, and Bay Mills Indian Community.
