Ohio casinos and racinos combined to win more than $164 million last month, which marks a new September record for the state’s gaming industry.<\/p>\n

The three casinos in the Cleveland market helped fuel Ohio’s gaming industry to a record-setting September. (Image: Cleveland.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ohio’s four commercial casinos, which feature slot machines and table games, reported gross gaming revenue (GGR) of $71.9 million. Slots generated $50.8 million, and tables $21.9 million. The state’s seven racinos — which only feature video gaming terminals (VGTs) — won $92.7 million.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland market fared well. MGM Northfield Park won $19.9 million (up 2.9 percent), JACK Cleveland $18.1 million (up 5.3 percent), and JACK Thistledown $14.2 million (up 20.8 percent).<\/p>\n

Legalized gambling in the Buckeye State dates back to 2012, and last month was the best September ever for the state casino industry.<\/p>\n

Casino September GGR<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. MGM Northfield Park $19.9M<\/li>\n
  2. Hollywood Columbus $19.3M<\/li>\n
  3. Hollywood Toledo $18.9M<\/li>\n
  4. JACK Cleveland $18.1M<\/li>\n
  5. Eldorado Scioto Downs $16M<\/li>\n
  6. Hard Rock Cincinnati $15.6M<\/li>\n
  7. JACK Thistledown $14.2M<\/li>\n
  8. Miami Valley $14M<\/li>\n
  9. Hollywood Mahoning $11M<\/li>\n
  10. Hollywood Dayton $10.7M<\/li>\n
  11. Belterra Park $6.9M<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The GGR data is provided by the Ohio Lottery Commission and Ohio Casino Control Commission, the latter which regulates the four casinos (JACK Cleveland, Hard Rock, and Hollywood Toledo\/Columbus).<\/p>\n

    Pandemic Demand<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Ohio casinos were closed throughout April and May, but began welcoming back gamblers in June. COVID-19 restrictions remain in place, including a 50 percent capacity limit.<\/p>\n

    Poker is still off-limits, as are live events and concerts. Employees must wear face masks, but patrons are only urged to do so, not required.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Despite the limitations and regulations, guests are gambling<\/a> at higher rates than ever experienced in Ohio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    September’s all-time best performance is the third consecutive record monthly performance. Ohio casinos and racinos won $172.1 million in August and $181.1 million in July.<\/p>\n

    Sports Betting Odds<\/b><\/h2>\n

    The line on Ohio lawmakers passing a sports betting bill<\/a> has shortened in recent months. Ohio borders five states, and only Kentucky doesn’t permit legal sports betting. Sportsbooks are operational in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, and West Virginia.<\/p>\n

    Gaming industry analysts believe the Ohio market would be huge for oddsmakers.<\/p>\n

    \n

    We estimate that Ohio is the sixth-ranked US state in terms of sports fandom, and the seventh-ranked state in terms of college football fandom,” says Eilers & Krejcik, a leading gaming industry analytical firm.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Ohio lawmakers are mulling an eight percent tax on revenue stemming from sports betting. Projections are upwards of $600 million a year in new gaming revenue, should that tax rate be implemented and mobile wagering is allowed.<\/p>\n

    Ohio is a sports-obsessed state. It is home to eight professional sports franchises, and eight NCAA Division I FBS college football teams, most notably the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Cleveland Browns are 3-1 for the first time since 2001.<\/p>\n

    Sports betting proponents, however, received a bit of a disappointment this week when state Sen. John Eklund (R-Lake County), the main sponsor of a sports betting bill, said details remain that need hashing out before the General Assembly will proceed with a vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
