Ohio’s casinos and racinos saw a healthy boost in gaming revenue in July from the month before while experiencing a modest drop from their earnings a year ago.

The Buckeye State does not have online casinos, but its four brick-and-mortar venues and seven racetracks with VGTs combined for $203.5 million in July revenue, a 5.1% increase over June but 1.6% decline from July 2022.

Casino revenue from combined slots and table games added up to $86 million, a 3.8% monthly increase but 3.1% annual drop. At the racinos, the $117.5 million generated by nearly 10,500 machines was up 6.1% on a monthly basis, down 0.4% from the prior July.
