Ohio casino revenue increases 8.4% to $88.9m for July 2025

The Ohio Casino Control Commission has reported the state’s casino activity throughout July 2025, as the four properties combined to generate $88.9m, representing an increase of 8.4% from the prior year period. 

Hollywood Casino Columbus, which accounted for the highest revenue of any property that reports to the Casino Control Commission, witnessed growth of 11.3% to $24.7m for July 2025. Hard Rock Cincinnati and Hollywood Toledo reported July 2025 increases of 11.6% and 9.6%, respectively, for totals of $22m and $20.7m. 

Despite reporting the smallest revenue increase of any property throughout the month, Jack Cleveland Casino still recorded $21.5m of revenue for July 2025 and rose 1.4% year-over-year. 

Slot play accounted for the majority of revenue in Ohio for July 2025, reported to generate $65.2m for an increase of 8.4%, while table games also managed to grow its revenue by 8.4%, producing a total of $23.7m. 

Hollywood Columbus Casino generated $19.6m of slot revenue throughout the period to lead all properties, with Jack Cleveland Casino accounting for the highest table game revenue for July 2025 at nearly $8.2m. 

Good to know: The Ohio Casino Control Commission launched an independent investigation into suspicious wagering activity regarding the Cleveland Guardians MLB franchise after being notified by an Ohio licensed sportsbook on June 30

In total, Ohio players wagered close to $99.5m on table games for July 2025, and an additional $852.1m in slot play as reported by the Casino Control Commission. The four properties combine to house 370 table games for residents, as well as just over 6,070 slot machines. 

On May 15, Ohio Senator Nathan Manning introduced Senate Bill 197, a measure which could expand gambling in the Buckeye State to include online operations. 

Licensed operators using self-made iGaming platforms would pay a 36% tax on revenue under SB 197, while licensees that partner with an outside operator would pay an increased rate of 40% to the state.
