Until the election of 2009, casino gambling was illegal in The Buckeye State, but Issue 3 (a pro-casino initiative) passed, and casinos are now planned in four Ohio cities. Currently Ohio hosts a number of parimutuel horse racetracks, as well as more than 200 bingo halls. The legal gambling age in Ohio is 18 for parimutuel betting. Smoking is banned in all Ohio gaming venues.

So...like many of those visiting this site...I am curious as to what the real time frame is for all these "new" jobs via casinos in Cleveland....or via casinos in Ohio? The majority that voted in favor of casinos in Ohio did not consider that casino jobs would be one of the last items on the list in passing the vote. Granted, once a control commission is set up; and licenses granted to casino owners, then we might start seeing some new jobs for the construction of the new casinos. In the mean time....those jobs are just promises waiting to happen, or so we are told.
If you wish to voice your opinion and see it posted here regarding any matters concerning casinos in Cleveland, casinos in Columbus, Toledo casinos, or Cincinnati casino jobs....feel free to write us at opinions@cleveland-casino.com . As long as you keep it clean, we can post it. |

Gov. Ted Strickland will name the seven members of the commission, subject to approval by the Ohio Senate. The commission will most likely pick an executive director, who will run what is expected to be a $14 million-a-year operation with 158 employees. Full story »

Cleveland casino idea backed by Jeff Jacobs gets lukewarm reception from Gov. Ted Strickland
Gov. Ted Strickland was eager to respond today to a proposal by developer Jeff Jacobs to build a casino and 1,000-room hotel at the site of the medical mart planned for downtown Cleveland.
"At first blush, it doesn't seem like a good idea to me," Strickland said, smiling.
The governor, appearing at a Berea school site with U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, said he has not consulted his legal staff about whether he would have the authority to allow such a gambling expansion for Cleveland. But he said he doesn't believe it's within his legal powers. And even if it is, he is not inclined to support such an idea.
Strickland also repeated that he opposes Issue 3, a competing proposal that would allow casinos to be built in Cleveland and three other Ohio cities, although he authorized an upcoming expansion of gambling through the lottery by allowing race tracks to install video slot machines.
Asked to explain the difference, he said race tracks already allow gambling, so slot machines are compatible with the activity that already takes place there. |
