State lawmakers could open the door for Cuyahoga County and other large counties to get more sports gaming facilities under language included in the latest version of the state’s two-year budget bill…
House Bill 33, if passed, would allow the three largest counties in Ohio – Cuyahoga, Franklin and Hamilton counties – to have seven sports-gaming facilities, rather than the five allowed under current law. That could provide an opportunity for sportsbook applicants in Cuyahoga County who were previously rejected, including Bobby George’s Harry Buffalo; Steve Rosen, co-CEO of a private equity firm called Resilience Capital Partners in Beachwood; and downtown developer Stark Enterprises.
