asinos are starting to pop up all over the states. In a country where there only used to be two states with legalized non-Indian gambling, there certainly seems to be many bills being passed in favor of gambling. Ohio is the first state to start a casino project consisting of casinos spread throughout the state in the most populated cities. Cleveland is the first city, The Horseshoe Casino will be open in March of 2012, and Toledo, Cincinnati, and Columbus will follow in the coming year.
The Horseshoe Casino in the heart of blue collar Cleveland is providing nearly 2,000 jobs internally, as well as over 2,000 construction and contractor jobs. The casino itself will not be as glam and glitzy as anything in Vegas; it will be centered around other Cleveland attractions including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and their home sports teams. It will have around 2,000 slot machines, 60 specialty table games and around 30 poker tables, which will be a pretty good size Casino situated right in the middle of downtown. According to Bingo.com it is supposed to draw around 5 million tourists who will also be enjoying shopping and dining in the downtown area.
One of the determining factors for the bill to pass was the promise for even more jobs with further construction on the casino in the coming years. The main reason these casinos are being approved is because of the failing employment rate and economy in Ohio. Cleveland and Toledo are one of the poorest major cities in the US and these casinos are meant to help turn that statistic around.
