In and of itself, April 2023 was nothing remarkable for Ohio’s four casinos. However, the returns for the month for the four Class III gaming facilities were more than good enough to keep this year as a whole looking quite special.

April’s $86.4 million in revenue keeps 2023 on a path to being the most lucrative year ever for Ohio casinos. The state’s licensed sportsbooks also had some mixed results during the month, with a decline being tempered by some consistent performances.

The total of $86.4 million from April ranks behind the figures for the same month in both 2021 and 2022. It’s also a significant 7.5% drop from the Ohio casino revenue total for March of this year. The drop from April 2022 to April 2023 was around 6.9%.
