Will you be putting your money down if sports betting becomes legal in Ohio?

The Dispatch reports the probability of this happening is quite high since the U.S. Supreme Court decided to strike down the federal prohibition of it in March.

But in order for the industry to be successful in Ohio, officials need to get the ball rolling, reports The Dispatch.

Experts in the gambling field say if Ohio drags its feet, it won’t be able to bring Ohio gamblers back from Pennsylvania and West Virginia where sports betting has been legal since May.

But if they can get their ducks in a row, the experts say Ohio has great potential with the cult followings of the state’s many sports teams.

Sports gambling would likely generate 5 to 7 percent of the overall gambling revenue which would translate into tens of millions of dollars for the state.
