Detroit casinos going dark
On Sunday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced new, wide-ranging restrictions to combat the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of the state’s casinos for three weeks. The public health order will go into effect on Wednesday.
Three commercial casinos are affected by the shutdown mandate: MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Greektown Casino. The two-dozen tribal casinos are not required to abide by the Governor’s order, as they operate on sovereign tribal land. During the shutdowns earlier this year, most tribal casinos did close, but it is unknown if Michigan’s will this time.
The three Detroit casinos were among the last in the country to reopen, as the city was one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring. Even when they were allowed to reopen on August 5, they could only do so at 15 percent capacity.
“We are in the worst moment of this pandemic to date,” Whitmer said. “The situation has never been more dire. We are at the precipice and we need to take some action because as the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors, the virus will spread, more people will get sick, and there will be more fatalities.”
Michigan’s COVID-19 figures are ghastly
She is not wrong. Michigan’s graph of daily new cases looks like the warped wall on “American Ninja Warrior.” The current seven-day moving average of daily new cases is 7,235. It was under 1,000 at the beginning of October and under 200 in mid-June.
The state’s seven-day moving average of daily deaths is 60, up from 11 at the beginning of October and single digits most of the summer.
The number for the United States as a whole are staggering: a seven-day moving average of over 158,000 new daily cases, up by more than 100,000 from October 1. 200,000 new cases should be hit any day now. The seven-day moving average for daily deaths eclipsed 1,000 last week and is growing every day.
In her executive order, Governor Whitmer explained that there are currently more than 3,000 Michiganders hospitalized with COVID-19, taking up 15 percent of the state’s hospital beds. Michigan and rest of the country are in a world of shit right now and things are not getting better any time soon.
“This is not forever.”

As mentioned, the shutdowns affect much more than just casinos. High schools and colleges will go virtual for the next three weeks, eat-in dining is done, organized sports (except for professional sports) are cancelled, and virtually all other recreation and entertainment is on hold. The live/virtual states of preschool through eighth grade classes is up to the local school districts.
Robert Gordon, director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, said, “Michigan’s house is on fire.”
“The order lasts three weeks and at the end, if we all have done our parts, we will be in a better place,” he added. “This is not forever. What will be forever will be the deaths of loved ones if we do nothing.”
The three affected casinos had little to say about the order.
“We understand these are challenging times and are committed to doing our part for the well-being of our employees, guests and the State of Michigan,” MGM Resorts International said in a company statement. “We look forward to when we can welcome back our guests with a continued focus on our comprehensive health and safety protocols.”

Motor City Casino Details
Motor City Casino is one of Detroit’s leading poker venues. A notably large band of staff ensures that Motor City has enough customer service personnel on hand to satisfy players at busy times. Motor City’s name makes reference to Detroit’s major status in the automobile industry, with factory workers and executives alike often populating the room on Friday nights. Being aware of this, it is usually a smart idea to call the poker room in advance of a visit to reserve a seat. A two-hour wait can face players who are not so forward-thinking.
The Motor City Poker Room provides roughly 10 cash game tables alongside several tournament-only tables. The tournament action is very steady. A selection of $75 and $100 deep-stack and regular events populate the weekly calendar and play with strong fields. Even beyond the auto industry, players all over Detroit come to Motor City when the poker room’s bad-beat jackpots begin to climb. Especially when combined with public holidays, the bad-beat jackpot is often the catalyst for the sort of crazy action that skilled players adore. This activity can be found in limit and no-limit hold’em cash games, plus Omaha eight-or-better when choppers are hungry for a game. Once the bad-beat jackpot reaches $200,000, cash game action takes priority. At this stage, tournaments are cancelled to make room for extra cash players in search of the jackpot payout.
As an aside, smokers should remember that the Motor City Poker Room is smoke-free, although you are allowed to light-up on the ground floor of the property. Also, although there is no comp program for players looking for refreshments at Motor City, this gives the impression that the room is focused on spreading quality poker games in favor of flashy extras.
