History[edit]

Casinos were prohibited in Ohio before 2009, so gamblers instead visited casinos in Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Michigan where they were permitted. In November 2009, Ohio voters approved a measure that would allow for four casinos to be established in the state, one each in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo. The casinos were expected to generate $600 million in revenue, with fees collected there to be redistributed to school districts and local governments in the state. It passed by a vote of 53 to 47.[1]

  • Ohio is one of the strictest anti-gambling states, but Issue 3 regarding gambling in Ohio passed with 53 to 47 percent. This amendment to the state Constitution provides for four casinos, one in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. These casinos will operate at a 33 percent tax rate and will, voters hope, improve the economic climate.
  • Currently employed by a casino in Ohio, contact the Commission’s Division of Licensing and Investigations at (614) 387-5688 or toll free at (855) 800-0058 for information regarding the submission of a completed application and all attachments and payment of the applicable application fee.
