Online roulette is one of the most popular titles in U. S.iGaming, and Ohio is no exception. The state’s 2023 revenue from online casinos reached roughly $450 million, with roulette making up about 18% of wagers – over 80 million individual bets in a year.
Local operators and international brands both compete, and Ohio players enjoy a mix of classic European and American tables, balancing low‑edge and high‑action games.
Regulatory Framework
Licensing for roulette ohio has increased to 20 operators by 2025: casinos-in-ohio.com. Ohio’s online gambling rules sit inside the Ohio Lottery Act and the Ohio Gaming Control Act. The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) issues licenses, collects a 15% revenue share for the state and charities, and enforces Rhode Island responsible‑gaming tools such as self‑exclusion and deposit limits.
The 2024 amendment tightened data‑privacy requirements, pushing operators toward ISO 27001‑compliant security.
Market Size & Growth
| Metric | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 (proj.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross revenue | $450 M | $525 M (+17%) | $600 M (+14%) |
| Licensed operators | 12 | 16 | 20 |
| Avg daily bet volume | 3.5 M | 4.2 M | 5.0 M |

Growth outpaces the overall iGaming market by about three points. The surge stems from better streaming tech, a younger mobile‑centric audience, and aggressive marketing tied to sports and esports. Dr. Elaine Carter of MarketWave Analytics sees Ohio potentially ranking among the top five states for roulette revenue by 2026.
Player Preferences: Desktop vs. Mobile
A 2023 survey showed 58% of Ohio roulette players use smartphones, 32% prefer desktops, and 10% switch between devices. Mobile players lean toward live dealer tables; desktop users gravitate toward RNG games where they can test betting systems.
Average mobile session lasts 8 minutes, desktops 12 minutes. JackpotJoy’s “Quick Spin” feature – placing a bet in two seconds – boosted mobile wagering by 25% in Q2 2024.
Live Dealer vs. RNG‑Based Roulette
Live dealer tables offer a realistic casino feel, higher average bets ($150 vs.$75), and stronger social interaction. Latency hovers around 200-400 ms.
RNG roulette delivers instant spins and lower operational costs. Both coexist; many operators run live sessions during peak hours and keep RNG available otherwise.
