Ohio Casinos: List and Locations of OH Casinos

Ohio has a strange and interesting history where gambling is concerned, while casino gambling is very newly legal in the state, other forms of gambling have been around for a very long time. Those who were pro-gaming struggled to have casinos legalised for a long time. Heres the timeline for you.

Whilst much of the specific law in Ohio around gambling remains shrouded in grey areas and confusion, legal casino gambling in the above-mentioned 10 casinos is perfectly fine, and quite enjoyable!

1933In the year 1933 Ohios general assembly legalised horse race betting, which still thrives at 6 different racinos to this day.

1980 2009In the year 1980 the state legalised the first lottery by popular vote, of which there are a few variations even now. In the same year the assembly vetoed the push for the legalisation of casinos. In the following years there were another two pushes for casino gambling, and one for legalised riverboat gambling, all of which were denied.

2009 PresentEventually, in 2009, four cities were given the green light to host licensed casinos. These four cities are now the most thriving places in the state.
