COLUMBUS — COLUMBUS

First-quarter casino tax revenues for Ohio’s counties and major cities, including Youngstown, have declined slightly from last year’s peak, according to the Ohio Department of Taxation.

These revenues come from a 33 percent tax on gross gambling revenues paid by the state’s four casinos, which are in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati.

First-quarter revenues for Youngstown and Mahoning County each totaled $357,390 in 2017, compared with $362,488 in the same quarter last year, $352,854 in 2015, $341,549 in 2014 and $326,893 in 2013.
