Gambling revenue at Ohio’s casinos and racinos was down in April, and so far it’s down year-over-year.

The state’s 11 casinos and racinos reported a combined $200.1 million of gambling revenue in April, down from $204.6 million in April 2023, according to data compiled from Casino and Lottery commission reports made available late last week. This is the money kept by the gambling houses, after paying out winnings, but before state taxes and fees.

Revenue was up in March and steady in February, but it was down in January. Through three months Ohio has recorded $796.9 million of gambling revenue at casinos and racinos, down from $816.2 million at this point in 2023.
