This is a list of casinos in Ohio.
Hollywood Casino Aurora (Red Pin) – 41 miles west. 45 minutes to 2 hour driving time (again, the higher figure is for Friday afternoons). A typically riverboat casino that is in no way seaworthy, this is the casino that is the furthest west of all of the 8 Chicago-area casinos. It’s the closest casino to Naperville. Illinois is a major state in the American tournament-poker network, as illustrated by the presence of WSOP Circuit events. The World Poker Tour Boot Camp also regularly convenes in this state, with the tournament franchise prioritizing Illinois residents for its program of cash game and tournament coaching.

Casinos were prohibited in Ohio before 2009, so gamblers instead visited casinos in Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Michigan where they were permitted. In November 2009, Ohio voters approved a measure that would allow for four casinos to be established in the state, one each in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo. The casinos were expected to generate $600 million in revenue, with fees collected there to be redistributed to school districts and local governments in the state. It passed by a vote of 53 to 47.[1]
