Greektown casino in Detroit has been falling behind most other land casinos in the area in terms of revenue and growth, though a new refurbishment recently undergone there will hopefully pull it back on the road to being a big contender to the competition. The refurbishment undergone there is external to with roads created to make easier access to the casino and for the last year or so has left the roads blocked reducing access to the casino but suddenly all will be revealed in the near future. The gaming floor in the land casino has been extended by 33% and huge number of new slot machines introduced as well as high roller slots.
