How long until legal sports betting reaches the casinos in Ohio?
I had no idea that Delaware already has legal sports betting as a result of the May SCOTUS ruling...first state other than Nevada to have legal sports betting.

According to the numbers, about 70,000 wagers for a total of just over $7 million in bets were placed across three locations from June 5 to June 24. Gamblers won back about $6 million, leaving the state with nearly $1 million in revenue.
Breaking it down to a daily rate, the state made about $52,600 per day from legal wagering.
Baseball accounted for 75 percent of the wagers, with the World Cup (10 percent) and NBA Finals (8 percent) making up the lion’s share of the remaining bets.
