| After years of ballot initiatives and wrangling in Columbus, the first of Ohio’s four casinos is getting set to open in downtown Cleveland. The launch of a casino/entertainment complex in Northeast Ohio is intended to create thousands of jobs and spark economic growth. But there are thorns amongst the roses. In a five-part series, the WKSU newsroom took a closer look at the promises that have been made, regional expectations and problems that could lie on the horizon for Northeast Ohio’s newest billion-dollar business. Along with appearing on the front page of WKSU.org and as general news on the website’s news page, audio, transcripts and images for each segment were posted at: http://www.wksu.org/news/feature/the-billion-dollar-bet |

In The Region:
Everyone knew the new casino being built in Northeast Ohio would be in Cleveland. After all, that’s what the constitutional amendment that voters passed in 2009 stipulates. Using the old Higbee building for Phase One of the project was a pleasant surprise for Clevelanders.
Still, WKSU’s Mark Urycki reports that some concerns remain about how good a fit the casino will be in the city’s downtown.

Simulcast racing. Betting at horse tracks has historically been legal in Ohio. Now it's likely that video slot machines will be allowed as well
The new Cleveland casino will pull in big money. How much of it will come from beyond northeast Ohio is unclear. And, as WKSU’s Tim Rudell reports, it’s even less clear how the shuffling of entertainment spending within the region will affect things like restaurants, theaters and charity fund raising.
