Ohio Online Casino Plan Puts Physical Venues at the Center
Summary
Ohio Representative Brian Stewart has proposed a plan to legalize online casinos, where digital operators must use promotions to drive foot traffic to physical casinos and racinos. This approach aims to generate up to $400 million in annual tax revenue and support existing land-based venues. However, responsible-gambling advocates warn about potential harms from increased online gambling spending. The proposal seeks to balance competing interests and resolve legislative stalemates.
