O ne of America’s newest gaming states, Ohio got in on the action in 2012. The state has implemented legal casino gaming differently than its Midwest neighbors such as Illinois and Indiana, which initially placed casinos on river boats in towns away from their largest cities. Ohio, however, has casinos spread out across sev eral of the state’s largest cities including Colum bus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. Ohio casinos tend to be in urban settings with many options for lodging, so casinos partner with local hotels, opening opportunities for cross promotion.
