CLEVELAND, Ohio - Ohio casino and racino gambling revenue totaled $150 million in October, up 3.6 percent over October a year ago, according to reports released this week by the state’s Ohio Lottery and Casino Control commissions.

Gambling revenue for the slots-only racinos was up 6.7 percent, climbing from $78.2 million in October 2017 to $83.4 million last month. This is the money kept by the house after paying out winnings.

Meanwhile, gambling revenue at the four casinos combined was nearly unchanged, at $66.6 million.

In the Greater Cleveland market, revenue was up at the two racinos - from $19.6 million to $20.6 million at Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park, and from $9.5 million to $10.4 million at JACK Thistledown. However, revenue fell at the JACK Cleveland Casino from $16.9 million to $16 million.

There were the same number of Fridays and Saturdays each October, but one extra Sunday in October 2017.

The Rocksino, recently purchased by MGM, leads all Ohio casinos and racinos in gambling revenue, with $213.8 million for the first 10 months of the year.

Among just casinos, Hollywood Casino Columbus leads with $188.2 million.
