Nonprofit groups in Ohio that benefit from operating bingo games are seeing declining revenues.

A recent report says bingo parlors statewide made about $142.2 million in 2009 from traditional bingo and instant games. That’s down about 28 percent from $196.7 million in 2006.

The report was compiled using figures submitted to the Attorney General’s office.
