Ohio’s 11 casinos and racinos reported $207.4 million of gambling revenue in December, $9.2 million more than in November and the highest combined gambling revenue in the state since March.

However, the same casinos and racinos generated less revenue than they did this time last year, when they reported $212.1 million in revenue for December, according to data from the Ohio Casino Control and Lottery commissions.

Still, Ohio’s gambling establishments generated nearly the same revenue in 2024 as they did in 2023, with a combined revenue of just under $2.4 billion for each year.

The revenue figures are the money the gambling houses keep after paying out winnings but before state taxes and fees are assessed.
