Ohio Casinos Generate $88.9M in July 2025, Revenue Up 8.4 Percent

Ohio’s casino floors stayed busy in July 2025, with players showing strong interest in both slots and table games. The Ohio Casino Control Commission confirmed that the state’s four casinos together pulled in $88.9 million, an 8.4% year-on-year increase.

Good to know

• Hollywood Casino Columbus topped all properties with $24.7 million in revenue, up 11.3% from last year.
• Jack Cleveland Casino, despite the smallest rise, still generated $21.5 million.
• Senate Bill 197 could open the door for online casinos in Ohio with tax rates as high as 40%.

The summer numbers showed growth across the board. Hard Rock Cincinnati brought in $22 million, an 11.6% boost, while Hollywood Toledo reached $20.7 million with a 9.6% jump. Jack Cleveland Casino inched up just 1.4% but still delivered $21.5 million.

Slots remained the biggest draw, producing $65.2 million of the total, while table games added another $23.7 million. Hollywood Casino Columbus once again led the slot market with $19.6 million, and Jack Cleveland Casino saw the strongest table game performance, nearly $8.2 million.

In total, players wagered $852.1 million on slot machines and nearly $99.5 million on table games during the month. The four casinos currently offer more than 6,070 slots and 370 tables.

While the land-based market is growing, lawmakers are debating how to expand the industry further. Senate Bill 197, introduced by Senator Nathan Manning in May, proposes allowing online casino gaming. Under the bill, operators running their own platforms would face a 36% tax on revenue, while those partnering with third-party providers would pay 40%.

The mix of rising on-site play and potential online growth has made Ohio one of the most watched states in the casino sector. The combination of steady revenue from slots and tables plus a possible digital expansion could reshape how players engage with gambling across the Buckeye State.
