Where do table and slot counts come from?
For Ohio, table-game and slot totals come from official reports published by Ohio Casino Control Commission and related registry files — the same numbers the state publishes. Profile pages show the source and check date.
Do you list online casinos or betting apps?
No. CasinoList covers land-based, licensed floors you can walk into. Online casinos, apps and grey-market venues stay off the catalog.
Can a casino pay to rank higher?
No. Rankings and shortlist membership are never sold. Ads policy and editorial rules are published on our methodology page.
How often is the Ohio catalog updated?
We refresh registry-backed inventory when new official reports land, and re-check operator facts on a desk schedule. Each profile shows when a field was last verified.
Is free parking guaranteed on the free-parking shortlist?
Free parking means our visit block records free self-park as published. Fees and validation rules can change — confirm on site or on the operator’s page before you drive in.
