0

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Revenues at each of Ohio’s four
casinos declined in December, leading to the worst statewide showing in
the nine months that all four were open.
Figures released Tuesday
by the Ohio Casino Control Commission show casino revenue statewide
declined 9.8 percent. The casinos are in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus
and Toledo.
The Cincinnati casino opened March 4, and the others
opened in 2012. The statewide December revenue of $63.2 million was the
lowest full-month total with all four facilities open.
For
December, revenues were off 19.1 percent in Cincinnati, 9.6 percent in
Cleveland, 5.8 percent in Columbus and 3.9 percent in Toledo.
Gambling
options in Ohio expanded in December with two new horse racing tracks
with slots-style video lottery terminals. Those new racinos opened north
of Cincinnati and near Cleveland.
