As the Ohio economy struggles, will more Ohio voters be willing to place their bets on an Ohio casino? The proposed casino would cost $600 million and would bring 5,000 new jobs to Central Ohio.
Those who are behind the casino development said a new casino could generate more than $200 million in tax revenues for Ohio’s 88 counties.
But Gov. Ted Strickland said he still believes the majority of Ohioans are against gambling in Ohio and is not supporting the proposed casino in Clinton County.
