Hundreds of gamblers and locals lined up Monday for the opening of Ohio’s fourth casino.

Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati was set to open Monday night after more than two years of construction, and about four years after voters approved four casinos in Ohio’s largest cities to boost the state’s economy. The casino is a joint venture of Rock Gaming LLC and Caesars Entertainment.

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory hails the casino as a home run for the city, although projected revenues are far lower now than when Ohio voters approved casinos in 2009.
