Which casinos are licensed in Ohio?
As of July 16, 2026, Ohio has four licensed commercial casinos: JACK Cleveland Casino, Hollywood Casino Columbus, Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati and Hollywood Casino Toledo. All are land-based, 21+ facilities regulated by the Ohio Casino Control Commission and offer slots, table games and venue-specific poker. Ohio’s seven racinos are separate Lottery VLT properties, and Ohio has not launched regulated online casino gaming. Current game counts, poker schedules, sportsbook operations, promotions and claim procedures must be verified for the exact property and visit date.
Ohio Casinos in 90 Seconds
| Question | Direct answer | Controlling source or record | Main boundary | Correct check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How many licensed commercial casinos are in Ohio? | Four. | Ohio Constitution Article XV §6 and Chapter 3772. | The count excludes seven Ohio Lottery VLT racinos. | Use the current OCCC casino-license record. |
| Which four casinos are they? | JACK Cleveland Casino, Hollywood Casino Columbus, Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati and Hollywood Casino Toledo. | Current OCCC casino reporting and license evidence. | Consumer branding can change while the licensed facility remains regulated. | Match the property name and address to the official record. |
| Who regulates Ohio casinos? | The Ohio Casino Control Commission licenses, regulates, investigates and enforces commercial casino gaming. | Chapter 3772 and current OCCC records. | The Ohio Lottery separately oversees racino VLTs. | Identify the product before selecting a regulator. |
| How old must a casino patron be? | 21 or older to wager at an Ohio casino facility. | Sections 3772.24 and 3772.99 plus venue identification policy. | An escorted passage rule does not allow an under-21 person to gamble. | Bring valid current government-issued identification. |
| What games do the four casinos offer? | Current evidence supports slots, classic table games, poker-style casino tables and venue-specific live poker across the four facilities. | OCCC inventory plus the exact current property page and table rules. | A category does not prove every title, table, limit or rule is available. | Verify the exact game and table immediately before play. |
| Which Ohio casinos document live poker? | All four publish current poker evidence. Columbus documents a 34-table room and Toledo a 12-table room. | Current venue poker pages. | Room size does not prove every table is open or every game is running. | Confirm current room hours, waitlist and game board. |
| Are Ohio racinos included in the four-casino count? | No. Racinos are horse-racing properties with Ohio Lottery-supervised VLTs. | Ohio Lottery VLT records and Chapter 3770. | VLT authority does not create commercial-casino table-game authority. | Use the dedicated Ohio racino route |
| Does an Ohio casino license include sports betting? | No. A physical sportsbook uses separate Type B sports-gaming authority. | Separate Chapter 3772 and Chapter 3775 license records. | A casino may contain a sportsbook without the casino license authorizing it. | Verify the Type B proprietor and current operating status separately. |
| Does Ohio have regulated online casino gaming? | No regulated online-casino or online-poker market has launched. | Current enacted Ohio casino and sports-gaming framework. | A physical casino brand, social app or online sportsbook does not establish an iCasino license. | Use current Ohio law and exact product licensing. |
| What must be checked before visiting or disputing a transaction? | Venue → address → age and ID → current hours → exact game or room → table rules → transaction ID → support record. | Official venue record plus the exact ticket, machine, table, poker or sportsbook evidence. | A general casino page cannot decide one transaction. | Save the evidence before leaving the property or closing the account screen. |
Ohio’s four licensed commercial casinos compared
The inventory below uses the standardized May 2026 OCCC report. Counts are operator-reported for the last day of the month and must not be described as live or permanent.
| Casino | Current public address | May 2026 tables | May 2026 slots | Current poker evidence | Sportsbook boundary | Required visit check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JACK Cleveland Casino | 100 Public Square, Cleveland, OH 44113 | 102 | 1,129 | Current poker page documents live poker and current game information; no comparable room-size count is published in this audit. | Current property evidence includes a sportsbook, but sports gaming uses a separate license. | Poker board, table rules, current limits, sportsbook status and public entrance. |
| Hollywood Casino Columbus | 200 Georgesville Road, Columbus, OH 43228 | 103 | 1,610 | Operator documents a 34-table live poker room with Hold’em and Omaha examples. | A physical sportsbook is documented separately from the casino-gaming authority. | Open poker tables, current waitlist, game mix, sportsbook hours and exact table limits. |
| Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati | 1000 Broadway Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 | 104 | 1,521 | Current property pages document live poker and current table-game categories; no comparable room-size count is published in this audit. | The property documents sports betting, but the Type B sports record must be checked separately. | Poker availability, table rules, current game board, entrance policy and separate sportsbook record. |
| Hollywood Casino Toledo | 1968 Miami Street, Toledo, OH 43605 | 54 | 1,651 | Operator documents a 12-table smoke-free poker room with current waitlist and game information. | A physical sportsbook is a separately authorized product. | Current entrance, poker hours, active game board, table availability and sportsbook status. |
| Statewide May 2026 total | Four licensed facilities | 363 | 5,911 | Venue-specific | Separate sports-gaming authority | Re-check the latest monthly report before every update. |
Inventory rule: Use OCCC month-end figures for comparable counts. Use current property pages for poker, amenities and public visit information. Do not combine an operator’s “more than” marketing claim with an OCCC month-end count as though they measured the same thing.

What gaming formats are documented at Ohio casinos?
| Format | Current evidence | What controls the exact product | Main boundary | User record to save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slot machines | All four have OCCC-reported slot inventory. | Exact machine, help/paytable screen, denomination and venue record. | Aggregate casino slot payout does not identify one machine’s theoretical RTP. | Machine asset number, game title and version, ticket, amount and timestamp. |
| Classic table games | Current venue pages document combinations of blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat. | Posted table rules, payout labels, limits and dealer/floor confirmation. | A category name does not prove one rule set or payout. | Casino, pit, table number, game, rule label, buy-in and time. |

| Regulated online casino or online poker | Not launched in Ohio | Current enacted law and a specific Ohio license category. | A land-based casino brand or sports app does not create iCasino authority. | Exact product, legal entity and claimed jurisdiction. |
Ohio casino, racino, sportsbook and online products are different
| Product layer | Ohio status | Primary authority | Current count or route | What it does not authorize |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial casino facility | Licensed land-based casino gaming | Article XV §6, Chapter 3772 and OCCC. | Four facilities. | Racino VLTs, mobile sports betting or online casino gaming. |
| Racino or VLT facility | Separate Lottery product | Chapter 3770, Ohio Lottery and racing permits. | Seven racino properties. | Commercial-casino table gaming. |

What to verify before visiting an Ohio casino
- 1
Confirm the exact licensed property
Match the casino name and current public address to the OCCC and official property record.
- 2
Check age, identification and access rules
Casino wagering is 21+. Confirm accepted identification and any entrance-specific policy.
- 3
Verify current entrance, hours and accessibility
Use the current visit page rather than an old promotion, map listing or archived address.
- 4
Identify the exact product
Separate slot machine, classic table, poker-style table, live poker, electronic table and sportsbook.
- 5
Read the current rule and payout screen
Record the table rule, paytable, limit, side bet, denomination or poker buy-in before participating.
- 6
Verify current poker or sportsbook operation separately
A documented room or facility can change hours, active tables, partner, games or operating status.
- 7
Set the complete visit limit
Include gaming money, travel, food, cash advances, side bets and sportsbook wagers in one limit.
- 8
Save records before leaving
Preserve tickets, machine and table identifiers, poker or wager records, promotion terms, timestamps and support names before escalating a dispute.
Which record controls an Ohio casino problem?
| Issue | First owner | Save this evidence | Escalation boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slot ticket, machine result or jackpot claim | Casino slot, floor or cage team. | Machine asset number, title and version, denomination, ticket, amount, time and staff response. | An aggregate casino payout percentage cannot resolve one machine claim. |
| Table-game settlement or rule dispute | Dealer, floor supervisor and casino management. | Pit, table number, game, rule or paytable label, wager, time and supervisor decision. | Another casino’s rule does not control this table. |
| Live poker room or hand dispute | Poker dealer, floor and room management. | Room, table, seat, game, blind, buy-in, hand or time, players involved and house-rule decision. | A room-size or schedule claim cannot determine a particular hand. |
| Promotion, loyalty or casino-credit issue | Exact operator program or venue support team. | Dated terms, account or member ID, offer, eligibility, play or transaction ledger and written response. | A casino license does not guarantee promotion eligibility or credit approval. |
| Physical or mobile sportsbook issue | The separately licensed sports-gaming operator. | Legal entity, facility or app, wager ID, odds, amount, accepted time, status and support ticket. | Do not route a sportsbook dispute using only the casino operator name. |
| Unresolved integrity, license or regulatory concern | Use the operator’s written process, then the OCCC route where within its authority. | Complete timeline, all identifiers, terms, screenshots, staff names and requested resolution. | Submitting a complaint does not guarantee a refund or a particular ruling. |
How current Ohio casino evidence is separated
Four authorized commercial facilities
The four-facility structure comes from the Ohio Constitution and Chapter 3772.
Standardized inventory snapshot
The OCCC report supplies comparable month-end table and slot counts across all four casinos.
Venue evidence rechecked
Current property pages were checked for public addresses, poker evidence and venue-specific product descriptions.
Marketing count ≠ regulator count
An operator’s “more than” claim can use a different date or definition. Use the OCCC row for cross-property comparison.
Four Ohio casino claims resolved with the correct evidence
“Hollywood Columbus has more than 1,700 slots, but the OCCC report says 1,610”
Operator evidence: the current property page markets more than 1,700 slots.
Regulator evidence: the May 2026 report lists 1,610 slots reported on the final day of that month.
Correct conclusion: use 1,610 for the dated standardized comparison and label the operator number as a different first-party inventory claim.
Do not conclude: that either number is a permanent real-time count.
“An older Toledo document says 777 Hollywood Boulevard”
Older evidence: archived operator materials used 777 Hollywood Boulevard.
Current evidence: the current visit page publishes 1968 Miami Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605.
Correct conclusion: use the current visit-page address and re-check directions on the visit date.
Do not conclude: that an archived promotion is the controlling entrance record.
“The casino has a sportsbook, so the casino license covers sports betting”
Casino evidence: the physical property can contain casino gaming.
Sports evidence: the sportsbook requires a separate Chapter 3775 and Type B license record.
Correct conclusion: verify the casino and sportsbook as two regulatory layers.
Do not conclude: that the casino license also authorizes a mobile sportsbook or online casino.
“The May statewide table payout was 77.39%, so that is my table’s RTP”
Report meaning: the figure is the month’s aggregate percentage of table drop returned as winnings.
Evidence gap: it does not identify one game, rule set, table, wager or future session.
Correct conclusion: use the exact table rules and paytable for game-level analysis.
Do not conclude: that monthly aggregate payout predicts a personal result.

Ohio Casinos FAQ
How many commercial casinos are in Ohio?
Ohio has exactly four licensed commercial casino facilities.
Which four casinos are licensed in Ohio?
The four are JACK Cleveland Casino, Hollywood Casino Columbus, Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati and Hollywood Casino Toledo.
Are casinos legal in Ohio?
Yes. Commercial casino gaming is authorized only through licensed operators of the four facilities established by Ohio Constitution Article XV §6 and Chapter 3772.
How old do you have to be to gamble at an Ohio casino?
You must be at least 21 years old to place a casino wager in Ohio.
Are Ohio racinos included in the four-casino count?
No. Ohio’s seven racinos are horse-racing properties with Ohio Lottery-supervised video lottery terminals, not the four commercial casino facilities.
Does Ohio have regulated online casinos?
No state-regulated online slots, online table-game or online-poker market has launched in Ohio as of July 16, 2026.
Do all four Ohio casinos have live poker?
All four publish current poker evidence, but room size, hours, active tables, game mix, blinds and waitlists remain property- and date-specific.
Which Ohio casino publishes the largest current poker-room table count?
Hollywood Casino Columbus currently publishes a 34-table poker-room count. That does not mean all 34 tables are open or that every listed game is running.
How many slots and table games do Ohio casinos have?
The May 2026 OCCC report lists 5,911 slots and 363 table games statewide across the four facilities. These are month-end operator-reported counts, not permanent real-time inventory.
Does an Ohio casino license include a sportsbook?
No. A physical sportsbook uses separate Type B sports-gaming authority under Chapter 3775, even when it operates inside a casino property.
Can someone under 21 enter an Ohio casino?
An under-21 person cannot wager and generally cannot enter the gaming area, apart from limited designated escorted passage or qualifying employee provisions under Ohio law.
Who regulates Ohio commercial casinos?
The Ohio Casino Control Commission licenses, regulates, investigates and enforces commercial casino gaming in the state.
How do I report an Ohio casino problem?
First preserve the exact venue and transaction evidence and use the casino’s written process. Unresolved matters within OCCC authority can then be routed through the Commission’s public complaint or inquiry page.
What do Ohio casino payout percentages mean?
The monthly report shows aggregate actual returns from table drop or slot coin-in. Those percentages are not the theoretical RTP or future odds for one table, machine, game or patron.
What is the current address of Hollywood Casino Toledo?
The current official visit page lists 1968 Miami Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605. Re-check the current entrance and directions before traveling.
Which is the best casino in Ohio?
This page does not publish a universal ranking. The useful choice depends on location, the exact game or poker need, current rules, limits, hours, accessibility and responsible-gambling boundaries.
