Ohio casino revenue increases in July
Revenue increased by 8.4 per cent year-over-year.
US.- The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) has reported that the state’s four casinos generated $88.9m in revenue in July. That’s a rise of 8.4 per cent from July 2024’s $82m.
Of the total revenue, $23.7m came from gaming tables, up from $21.8m, and $65.2m from slots, up from $60.1m.
Hollywood Columbus reported $24.7m (table games $5.1m and slots $20m). Hard Rock Cincinnati took $22m, up from $19.7 ($7.3m and $14.7m). Jack Cleveland Casino reported $21.5m and Hollywood Toledo $20.7m.
The OCCC recently sent a letter to sportsbooks warning against offering prediction markets. The letter signed by OCCC executive director Matthew Schuler warns that the regulator will take such offerings into consideration when evaluating the suitability of licensees.
It reads: “The Commission understands that sports gaming licensees may be considering entering the prediction market landscape. Well-known sportsbooks have apparently explored making sporting event contracts available outside of the ambit of their licensure with the Commission.”
