Ohio November gaming revenue down 17% y-o-y

Ohio’s 11 casinos and racinos earned revenue of $133m in November, a year-on-year drop of 17% and a significant dip from the prior month.
Revenue fell 21% between October and November, the result of rising Covid-19 cases and an overnight curfew put forth by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
The November numbers mark the end to a tremendous run for Ohio gaming properties, which set a record in October by bringing in $169m of revenue, a 7% increase from a year ago.
November was headed for another strong month until a spike in Covid-19 cases forced Gov. DeWine to implement a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew at non-essential businesses beginning Nov. 19. DeWine said he will extend the curfew beyond its initial expiration date, which is Dec. 10.
Ohio’s four casinos earned revenue of $59.5m in November, down 15% y-o-y. Hollywood Toledo led the way with revenue of $16.5m, followed by Hollywood Columbus ($15.7m), JACK Casino Cleveland ($14.5m) and Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati ($12.8m).
Casino table games fell 23% while slots were down 12%.
The state’s seven racinos offer exclusively slots, which earned revenue of $74m, down 19% from a year ago. MGM Northfield Park topped the pack with win of $15.6m, almost $3m ahead of second place Scioto Downs ($12.7m).
