CLEVELAND

Ohio’s first casino is proving to be a big hit so far.

Big crowds have been streaming into Horseshoe Casino Cleveland since its opening last Monday.

Baseball fans going to the Cleveland Indians game on Saturday at nearby Progressive Field crowded into the casino before and after the game.

Friday was the first day that people didn’t need to wait to get inside the casino.

But those lines were back Friday night and on Saturday.

The casino was even packing them by midmorning on Saturday.

Ohio’s second casino in Toledo opens in just little over a week.
