Ohio casinos, racinos continue streak in June of raking in record-breaking revenue
Ohio's casinos and racinos took in $196.8 million in gambling revenue in June. It was the fourth biggest month for gambling in the state. April holds the record for most gambling revenues. The profits came as more Ohioans received their vaccines and the number of new coronavirus cases has fallen. The record revenue streak coincided with decisions by local and state governments to lift overnight curfews and money from bills Congress passed to give stimulus checks to most Americans.
In the Cleveland-Akron market, revenue last month was up a combined 26% over June of two years ago for the three facilities. Ohio’s seven racinos had $112.1 million in revenue, up 23% from $91. 1 million last June. The four casinos in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo took in $84.7 million, which is up 20.5% on June 2019.
