Online Gambling At MotorCity Casino Hotel

In December 2019, Michigan’s Governor signed legislation to legalize online gambling, online sports betting, daily fantasy sports, and retail sports betting. The roll-out of these new gaming opportunities is taking some time as the state legislature continues to work on rules and regulations to effectuate the change. MotorCity will launch both an online casino and online sportsbook under the FanDuel brand.

Once the state lawmakers finalize rules and issue licenses, we anticipated that the FanDuel online sportsbook will be one of the first sports betting apps to launch in the state.

FanDuel Michigan

Known predominantly for its Daily Fantasy Sports, the FanDuel brand has quickly become one of the top brands in online gambling. The FanDuel Sportsbook app offers top-notch odds and one of the best apps in the industry. The app is easy to navigate even for new bettors. FanDuel announced a partnership with the Detroit Pistons, solidifying its relationship with Michigan.

The FanDuel Casino app is already available in Pennsylvania and in New Jersey under the Betfair brand. Although it doesn’t offer the same variety of slots and table games as some of the other Michigan casino apps, they are offering new games all the time. We anticipate that FanDuel will offer new players a $200 risk-free bet when it launches in Michigan.

In anticipation of this launch, FanDuel Michigan is offering bettors a pre-launch registration offer. Use this link to claim up to $100 in free bets just by registering.

FanDuel Retail Sportsbook At MotorCity

In March 2020, the MotorCity Casino opened a FanDuel Sportsbook that spans two floors of the casino and features six betting windows. FanDuel will administer all core services related to the sportsbook, including handling bets on the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings.

The two story-retail sportsbook features almost 70 televisions for sports viewing along with six betting windows and more than 50 sports betting kiosks. They are open from 9 am to midnight seven days a week. The lounge is located in the spot formerly occupied by the Chromatics Lounge and Spectators.

MotorCity Casino History

The original historic building where the MotorCity Casino Hotel complex is located was first built in 1915. Part of the exterior terracotta relief was restored during renovations. The Mandalay Resort Group opened the casino on this site in 1999.

MGM Mirage acquired Mandalay Resort Group in 2005. At the time, MGM also owned the MGM Grand Detroit. Since Michigan law only allows companies to own one casino in the state, MGM had to sell one of their properties. After a bit of hemming and hawing, they wound up selling their share in MotorCity Casino to Little Caesar’s owner, Marian Ilitch.

Ilitch also invested in a $300 million expansion of the casino to include the 400-room hotel and spa. In 2008, the MotorCity Casino received its signature metal wrap from Quality Metalcraft, which produced 11,000 tons of stainless steel ribbon for the project.

The casino’s design is strongly influenced by Detroit’s automotive and industrial history, hence the name, MotorCity Casino Hotel. Outside, the building has a unique curved design that is wrapped in a metal shell. Inside, there are thousands of slot machines and dozens of gaming tables with roulette, Black Jack, poker, craps, Pai Gow, Baccarat, Casino War, and Spanish 21.

Visitors will also find one of the few AAA 4-Diamond Restaurants in Detroit. It’s on the 16th floor of the casino with a menu of modern American cuisine.

Beating the Slots at MotorCity Casino

by Howard Berenbon

When you visit a casino, it's always a good idea to have a game plan. First, decide what games you'll play, how much money you'll wager per game and your loss limit. And it's also wise to take some expert advice with you for a winning edge. And so, on a recent visit to MotorCity Casino, I had a plan. I was going to play the slots; no table games this time. I had a modest $20 dollar limit and an expert with me.

Actually, I really didn't have an expert with me, but some notes taken last month while reading Gayle Mitchell's book, 'More Casino Gambling Made Easier.' She's a well known gambling expert who contributes to Casino Detroit Magazine. I studied her book and was ready to play those slots that Gayle recommends. It was a Friday morning (after I drove my two girls to school) when I headed downtown to MotorCity Casino for a morning of slot machine fun.

I was in search of a few good machines. First of all, Gayle recommends playing only single pay line machines in various formats. They offer a better pay off than those that pay on several lines. So, if you're lucky enough to hit on a machine, and people do, you'll make more money for your investment. Among the machines Gayle recommends are ones with 2 or 3 double symbols on the wheels. She also says to play those machines near high traffic areas (near the buffet line, near the cashier and etc.). And I've heard that recommendation from other experts. Those machines could be set to pay off more frequently to help encourage those not playing to play. It certainly adds to the casino excitement if someone hits a jackpot while you're waiting in line for seating at the lunch or dinner buffet. One more recommendation, which also makes sense, is to play the two coin machines maximum bet slots. You'll get at least one third more playing time.

Since I had a twenty dollar limit on my losses, I limited my play to quarter slots. That would give me more playing time for my money. So, I headed into the casino searching for a couple different single pay line machines with some of Gayle's criteria. I found a Triple Diamond machine that looked good and popped in three quarters. Then I hit the spin button, but nothing. I then moved over to a Wild Cherry machine to my left and hit three times in a row. Okay, that's the way to do it. It wasn't a jackpot, but it gave me some playing money. Then I found a Red, White and Blue quarter slot with double pay symbols, and won a few more handful of coins, but then gave it back. These machines required three coins for the maximum bet. Unfortunately, after searching all three floor of MotorCity, I couldn't find any two coin quarter slots. All the two coin machines I found were $0.50 and $1.00 wagers.

Casino Machine Slot

I continued trying a few more quarter slots here and there until I lost my very small winnings plus $10 more. So, I gave up and started looking for the nickel slots I won on last time. I know I broke a few of Gayle's rules by playing the nickel machines, which are multi-lined and more than three reels. But, I found a few that were fun. I started with a 'Filthy Rich' nickel slot on the first floor, near the escalator, and won about $10 on the first four spins. Then I continued toward the front exit to see if I could get a spot on one of the very popular Monopoly machines. I was in luck.

It wasn't that crowded at 11:30 a.m., and two Monopoly machines were open. On a previous visit, I watched them payoff, so I was happy to get a chance to play. In fact, I hit on the first 5 spins, and was about $20 ahead. Then my luck wavered and gave it all back plus some. But, I did have about a half hour of steady play with a chance to hit a jackpot. So, in my two hour visit to MotorCity Casino, I had lots of playing time (about an hour), added more points to my club card, with a chance at becoming an instant MotorCity Millionaire (a current club card promotion) and only lost $12. Actually, if you can leave a casino with only a $12 loss, you're way ahead in my book.

Next time, I'll play some of the poker machines Gayle recommends, and maybe try a few $0.50 two-coin slots. And then I'll head off to the buffet for lunch. I couldn't stay for the buffet this time, but next visit I'll take my winnings to lunch.
