When the gambling bug bit Ohio last month, it made sure that it would leave a big mark on the state.

Ohio’s four casinos reported gross gaming revenue growing 8.3 percent in March, according to the Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC).

Data from the state regulator showed that statewide March casino revenue grew to $81.7 million in March from $75.4 million during the same period last year. Ohio’s March 2018 revenue was also higher than the $67.6 million revenue it posted in February 2018.

For the first quarter of the year, the OCCC reported that casino revenues climbed 5.9 percent to $212.4 million compared to $206.5 million during Q1 2017.
