Slot Machine Payback Percentages at Michigan Casinos

Michigan state gaming laws do not require casinos in Detroit casinos to release slot machine payback statistics to the public.

Additionally, Indian casinos in Michigan are not required by the state to release their slot machine payback percentages to the public. However, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board, the slot machines must meet the same minimum standards that the machines in New Jersey or Nevada have. In New Jersey, the minimum return is 83% and in Nevada, it is 75%. Therefore, Michigan Native American casinos must have a return of at least 75%, in order to comply with the state gaming laws.

Unlike the casinos in Michigan, in many states the slot machine payback statistics for that particular state’s casinos are released as a matter of public record. Just click here to see a list of slot machine payback statistics for casinos in all U.S. states.
