WTOL.com, Toledo's News Leader, News 11 | Detroit, Michigan watches as Ohio OKs Toledo casino
Member Center:
DETROIT (AP) - Ohio voters have given their blessing to the opening of casinos in Toledo and three other cities, and that has Michigan officials and gambling interests paying close attention.
They're asking if Detroit's lucrative $1.3 billion annual casino cash cow is at risk. Detroit's casinos draw on thousands of Ohio visitors, and parts of Michigan are closer to Toledo than Detroit. Detroit and Michigan draw hundreds of millions of dollars from casino taxes, and any loss of customers could hurt their already depressed revenues.
The Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau says the area's hotels, sports and entertainment attractions will continue making Detroit a big gambling draw.
