Jack Cincinnati Casino (formerly Horseshoe Cincinnati) is a casino in Cincinnati, Ohio, owned and operated by Jack Entertainment.

The Horseshoe Casino opened on Monday, March 4, 2013. Construction at the site began in February 2011.[1] The casino is located on 23 acres (9.3 ha) in the northeast corner of Downtown Cincinnati which was previously the site of Broadway Commons.[2] Horseshoe Cincinnati will be the last of four voter-approved full-service casinos to open in the state in less than one year.[1]

Casino

The two-story casino is 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) and has 2,000 slot machines, 85 table games and a 31-table World Series of Poker room.[1] Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Bobby's Burger Palace and Jack Binion’s Steak are three of the casino’s four restaurants that will be located inside the facility.[3]

Horseshoe Cincinnati was initially owned and operated by Rock Ohio Caesars, a joint venture between Caesars Entertainment and Dan Gilbert's Rock Gaming. Rock Ohio Caesars also opened Ohio’s first casino, Horseshoe Casino Cleveland, in May, 2012.[4] Rock Ohio Caesars was the first operator to be licensed by the Ohio Casino Control Commission on May 2, 2012.[5]

The casino was rebranded Jack Cincinnati Casino in June 2016.[6]

Background

Ohio voters approved (53%) a state constitutional amendment in November 2009 authorizing casinos in the state’s four largest cities: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo.[7] It was the fifth statewide vote to legalize gambling in Ohio over 20 years.[8]

Hollywood Casino Toledo, developed and operated by Penn National Gaming, opened on May 29, 2012 followed by Hollywood Columbus, which opened on October 8, 2012.[9]

Gross casino revenues will be taxed at 33 percent, one of the highest rates in the nation for a resort casino with this level of investment. Portions of the tax revenue are designated for public school districts; the four host cities; all 88 state counties; the Ohio State Racing Commission; law enforcement training; and research and treatment of problem gambling and substance abuse.[10]
