JACK Casino Cleveland marks the 10th Anniversary of legalized gambling in Ohio.
CLEVELAND — It was 10 years ago this weekend, May 14, 2012, that crowds lined up outside the Higbee Building to be the first in Ohio to legally gamble in the new Horseshoe Casino Cleveland. The partnership between Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert and Caesars came about after Ohio voters approved gambling at four casinos in the state.
“I mean people say hey what happened to the Phase II casino? I mean that's what happened to it right,” said Matt Cullen Chairman of JACK Entertainment. Cullen has been the common thread in this project starting with Dan Gilbert in 2009 and when Gilbert sold his interests a few years back, Cullen and his partners at JACK Entertainment took over the management of the downtown casino and Thistledown.
"Our whole philosophy was sort of an inside-out casino to your point right? Use the casino but use the restaurants around it and use the amenities around it and encourage people to go out and so that's been the case from the beginning for us and that hasn't changed."
