Statewide casino revenue rises 2.2% to $86.1m, with slot machines driving gains while table games continue to face pressure
The Ohio Casino Control Commission has published its latest monthly performance data, revealing a steady but measured increase in statewide casino revenue for November 2025. Collectively, Ohio’s four land-based casinos generated $86.1m in gaming revenue during the month, representing a 2.2% year-over-year increase and underscoring the continued resilience of the state’s casino market despite mixed performance across gaming verticals.
Hollywood Casino Columbus once again emerged as the state’s top-performing property by revenue, reporting $25.1m for the month. This marked a 1.3% increase compared to November 2024 and reaffirmed the casino’s position as Ohio’s leading gaming venue. Slot machines were the primary growth driver at the property, generating $19m in revenue, up 4.3% year-over-year. This improvement helped counterbalance a notable decline in table game revenue, which fell 6.9% to $6.1m, reflecting broader statewide trends.
Across Ohio as a whole, slot machines continued to underpin market growth. Slots produced $62.6m in revenue during November, accounting for the majority of total casino income and delivering year-over-year growth of 4.1%. In contrast, table games struggled to maintain momentum, with statewide revenue from the segment declining 2.7% to $23.5m. The divergence highlights a sustained shift in player preference toward slot-based gaming, particularly amid economic uncertainty and evolving consumer behaviour.
Hollywood Casino Toledo recorded the strongest growth rate among Ohio’s casinos during the reporting period. The property generated $19.4m in total revenue, representing a robust 7.5% increase year-over-year. Growth was broad-based, with slot revenue rising 7% to $16.6m and table games increasing 10.7% to $2.8m, making Toledo the only property to post double-digit growth in table gaming.
Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati also reported positive results, with total revenue increasing 1.4% to $20.1m. Slot machines contributed $13.5m, up 2%, while table game revenue remained flat at $6.6m, indicating stable but subdued demand for live dealer offerings.
Jack Cleveland Casino was the sole property to report a year-over-year decline, with revenue slipping 0.6% to $21.4m. Although slot revenue rose 2.8% to $13.4m, this was outweighed by a 5.8% decrease in table game revenue to $8m.
Overall, November’s figures point to a stable Ohio casino market, with slot performance continuing to compensate for softness in table games as operators adapt to changing player dynamics.
