Ohio’s casinos and racinos broke a record for gambling revenue in February, setting themselves up for another strong year.

The state’s 11 casinos and racinos had $197 million of gambling revenue in February, according to reports from Ohio’s Casino and Lottery commissions, surpassing the $178.8 million record set in February 2022.

Saying Ohio’s casinos and racinos “broke a record” sounds like a broken record. They collectively set the monthly record for January last month, and break monthly records pretty often. Ohio’s total gambling revenue has also increased each year since 2012, when the first casino opened — excluding 2020, a year plagued by pandemic-related shutdowns.
