COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Regulators say total revenue from
Ohio’s four voter-approved casinos dropped again in January, when two
temporarily closed because of brutally cold winter weather.
The
Ohio Casino Control Commission reported Friday that revenue totaled just
under $59.7 million, down from $63.2 million in a lackluster December.
Cincinnati’s
casino, which is the newest, was the only one of the four to post a
monthly revenue increase. Its revenue rose from $14.2 million in
December to about $16.2 million last month.
Revenue at the
remaining casinos in Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo was down compared
with the previous month and the same time last year.
The steepest
month-to-month drop was at the Toledo casino, which closed twice for a
total of nearly 52 hours. Cleveland’s casino closed for 37 hours because
of the weather.
