Ohio Casinos Revenues Flatline YoY in June as Governor Calls to Remove Prop Bets

Casinos in Ohio generated over $82 million in June 2025, a 0.5% increase year over year from the $81.5 million generated in June 2024. The latest report  from the Ohio Casino Control Commission includes commission from both tables and slots in the state's casinos.

While the casinos saw a 0.5% increase year over year, revenues dropped 10.5% month over month, compared to the $91.7 million generated in May. 

Three Out Of Four Casinos See Revenue Increases Year-On-Year

Three of the four state casinos saw net revenue increases, with the highest increase coming from Jack Cleveland Casino. 

Jack Cleveland Casino's revenue increased 3.1% year over year, and earnings rose from $19.7 million in June 2024 to $20.3 million in June 2025. The slot revenue was 63.1% of the total and raised $12.8 million. The remaining 36.9% was earned from table games, totaling $7.5 million, 

Hollywood Toledo Casino saw the subsequent highest percent increase, with earnings rising 2.8% from $18.2 million in June 2024 to $18.7 million in June 2025. Slots constituted over 87% of the casino's total revenue, earning $16.2 million in June, with table games earning the other 12%, with a revenue of $2.4 million. 

Hollywood Columbus Casino posted the slightest increase in revenues, rising only 0.7% year-over-year, but it still collected the most revenues. The casino generated $23.6 million in June 2025, compared to $23.4 million the year prior. 

Hard Rock Cincinnati Casino was the only casino to see revenue decrease year over year, reducing from $20.2 million in June 2024 to $19.5 million in June 2025. 

Ohio Governor Calls for Removal of Player Prop Bets

While revenues at Ohio casino resorts rose, Governor Mike DeWine has recently publicly called for a significant change to the online sports betting landscape in Ohio. The governor advised the Ohio Casino Control Commission to ban player prop bets, effectively any wager on a player that does not include the game’s outcome. 

According to the governor, the MLB, NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, and MLS support his push for a ban. In January 2024, the Ohio Casino Control Commission agreed to ban player prop bets for collegiate events after a letter from NCAA President Charlie Baker. 

DeWine said, “The evidence that prop betting is harming athletics in Ohio is reaching critical mass. The harm to athletes and the integrity of the game is clear, and the benefits are not worth the harm. The prop betting experiment in this country has failed badly."

Governor DeWine has also recently expressed his opposition to the legalization of Ohio online casinos, which may be good news for land-based operators looking to continue to grow.
