So, what makes this relatively new casino the talk of Cleveland? Next to the city’s sports scene, obviously, where it’s always the talk year-round. But with nearly 1,700 slot machines, 119 table games, and 28 poker tables, Jack Cleveland Casino is definitely making itself known to the people of Cleveland.
Let’s take a dive into what makes this casino the place to be whether you live nearby or are taking a vacation destination to Lake Erie. We’ll also discover what the surrounding area offers to give you an overall idea of how you can turn gambling in Ohio into the trip of a lifetime.
Let’s begin.
The History of Jack Cleveland Casino
When Ohio voters approved a new amendment to the state constitution in November 2009, it cleared the way for a casino to be born in each of Ohio’s four largest cities that also included Columbus, Cincinnati, and Toledo.
The same joint-venture went on to Cincinnati to develop the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, which opened in March 2013.
Rock Gaming eventually acquired Caesar’s 20 percent stake in the casino and in February 2016, rebranded itself as Jack Entertainment. And in 2020 Jack Entertainment sold the real estate to Vici Properties, leaving the former to remain as the operating license holder.
Now that you know a brief history of the casino, let’s dive through the doors to discover what makes this casino the hottest on the shores of Lake Erie.

History[edit]
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]
