CLEVELAND — The State of Ohio continues its review of gambling in the state as it considers whether to add iGaming, which would allow you to play games like poker and blackjack on your phone for money. But the picture is much broader than that. From horse racing to lottery and bingo to sports betting, the Ohio Study Commission on the Future of Gaming is taking input on it all.
Where the casinos differ is in the benefits of iGaming. PENN Entertainment, the company behind the state's Hollywood properties, is arguing for iGaming. "iGaming is a threat to Ohio businesses and Ohio employment," said JACK Entertainment's Dan Reinhard."If this happens in Ohio, where there are four casinos and seven racinos, the brick and mortar casino revenues from in-person gaming could decline by over $220 million a year."
Numbers released for February showed the state's brick-and-mortar sports books actually paid out more in winnings than they took in in bets wagered.
