Ohio narrowly clips $1bn mark for casino revenue generated during FY2024

The Ohio Casino Control Commission has reported that the state’s casinos managed to generate $1bn in revenue throughout full year (FY) 2024, which represents a decrease of just 0.6% year-over-year. 

For the month of December, Ohio casinos reported a total revenue of nearly $89.2m for a decrease of 2.8% from the prior year period. Despite seeing a fall year-over-year, December still managed to report the second-highest casino revenue of any month during 2024 for Ohio. Slot revenue accounted for $63.8m of the total casino revenue for December 2024, decreasing by 3% from the prior year period. 

Table game revenue was reported to be just under $25.3m, which represents a decrease of 2.3% year-over-year. The game type has still managed to increase its revenue each month since falling to $21.8m during June 2024. 

Slot games generated $732.8m during FY2024, while table games accounted for $276.1m of the total casino revenue in Ohio. The figure for slot games represents an increase of 0.5% year-over-year, but table game revenue decreased by 3.5% from the prior year period.
