Revenues Up At Three Casinos And Overall Last Month

Three of Ohio's four casinos saw an increase in revenue last month.  

The Ohio Casino Control Commission says the state's four casinos collected nearly 65 million dollars in Januar, up nearly 9 percent over January 2014 when snow and record cold temperatures kept many gamblers at home.  The Columbus casino led the state with nearly 18 million dollars in revenue, a 17 percent gain. The Toledo casino's revenue of 14.3 million is up 24 percent over January of a year ago.   Cleveland's casino revenue rose 4 percent to 17.4 million.  Revenue at Cincinnati's casino was down 6 percent over the month.
