COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio’s 11 casinos and racinos reported $204.1 million of gambling revenue in August, setting a monthly record.

In 2023, the same casinos and racinos reported $194.8 million in revenue for August. The previous record was set in August 2022, at $196 million, according to data from the Ohio Casino Control and Lottery commissions.

The revenue figures are the money kept by the gambling houses, after paying out winnings, but before state taxes and fees.

Saturdays and Sundays tend to be big revenue makers for these businesses, but this most recent August had just seven weekend days, compared to eight in 2023 and 2022.

The four casinos, which can offer slot machines and table games like blackjack, reported $85.7 million of gambling revenue in August, up from $82.8 million last year.

The state’s seven racinos, the gambling houses at horse racetracks that can only offer slot machines, reported $118.4 million, up from 112.5 million. The totals reported by the Lottery Commission do not include wagering on horse races.

Through seven months, Ohio’s gambling establishments are essentially flat on revenue year-over-year. So far in 2024 they’ve reported $1.6 billion in revenue.

In the Greater Cleveland market, July revenue was:

* $27.4 million at MGM Northfield Park, up from $26 million in August 2023.

* $15.5 million at JACK Thistledown Racino, up from $15.3 million.

* $22.8 million at JACK Casino Cleveland, up from $22.3 million.
