CLEVELAND – The winter cold may have continued in March but Northeast Ohio gamblers found something to do inside as revenue figures released for the month show all three of the region’s gambling destinations were up from February.
The Horseshoe Casino Cleveland posted an adjusted gross revenue figure of $21.2 million, its biggest monthly take since March of last year when the casino brought in $24.4 million.
While the 2014 total is down 13.2 percent from last year, it is up $3.7 million or 21.3 percent from February.
