The state of Ohio is a bit different than most when it comes to legalized gambling. Some states are staunchly against it, and others go all-in. Ohio, on the other hand, goes about things in an unorthodox fashion.
While the laws are strict in the state, exceptions have been made, and JACK Cincinnati Casino has taken full advantage. JACK is owned and operated by Hard Rock International, and there are plans to change the name to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati. Whichever the name may be, it is the best casino you’ll find in Ohio.
JACK Cincinnati Casino
As mentioned, Ohio makes finding a casino tough. Racinos have been popping up more and more across the state, but these are limited to video and slot machines only.
In 2009, the state legislature passed a law allowing for one casino in every (five) major city. Construction of JACK Cincinnati began soon after but would not open until 2013. Since it’s opened its doors, it has offered up every form of casino gambling the state of Ohio has been missing.
JACK Cincinnati Slots
Of course, every casino needs to have hundreds of slot machines available, and JACK Cincinnati comes through with nearly 2,000. Slots are big business, and JACK keeps all of the latest and most popular games in stock.
The gaming floor is over 100,000 square feet, and finding the slot machine you like is never a problem. These machines have great rates and can range from as little as a penny or up to $100 in the High Limit Room.
JACK Cincinnati Table Games
Slots are great, but what really makes a casino worth a visit are the table games. This is the edge JACK Cincinnati has over all the other casinos and racinos in the area as they are one of only a handful of establishments able to carry table games.
All the classic casino table games are here such as roulette, craps, and, of course, blackjack. JACK also carries dozens of specialty games you won’t find anywhere else such as Mississippi Stud, JACK JACK, Crazy 4 Poker, Criss Cross Poker, Three Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold ’em and many more. There is also a High Limits Room for players looking to hit it big in a more secluded environment.
JACK Cincinnati Poker Room
While slots and table games are great in any casino, what really sets a casino apart from the rest these days is a poker room and, we are very happy to report, JACK Cincinnati has a great one. Poker rooms take up a lot of real estate, and casino owners would rather use that space on something more profitable to them. This is why a poker room is the sign of a casino with its players in mind.
The JACK Cincinnati Poker Room is top-notch. Mostly, offering Omaha and Texas Hold ’em, JACK Cincinnati’s Poker Room has cash games every day of the week.
Not only that, but there are weekly tournaments several times a week as well. Hosts are always available to update tournaments and wait times, and the whole room moves like a well-oiled machine. You don’t have to have a poker room these days, and JACK Cincinnati gets extra points from us for having such a good one.
JACK Cincinnati Promotions
While JACK Cincinnati has plenty of weekly promotions, giveaways, door drawings, and contests, the real promotions come from their rewards program. Wild Card Rewards is free to sign up and earns members points, which can be redeemed for all kinds of perks and prizes. Members can earn free plays, rebates, comps, and discounts on everything the Hard Rock offers at any Hard Rock property.
JACK Cincinnati Dining
JACK Cincinnati has five great dining options available to its guests. Each is high quality and different from the next, so guests will never have a problem finding what they like.
The Seven Chefs Buffet provides a great spread for those who would like a bit of everything. Bobby’s Burger Palace has the menu of Bobby Flay.
Basil Leaf Pizza allows guests to build their own pie with all the freshest ingredients, and Noodle 8 offers great Asian-inspired cuisine. For anyone looking for something more high end after a successful night at the tables, Prism Steak and Seafood provides an outstanding dining experience.
JACK Cincinnati Entertainment
Of course, a Hard Rock property is going to have plenty in the way of live music and entertainment, and there is a calendar full of events all year-round. Be sure to check out the website before your next visit to see which national music or comedy act will be in town.
Overall Review
Unfortunately for the fine people of Ohio, the state has some odd gambling odds. Fortunately for the fine people of Ohio, they have the JACK Cincinnati Casino to make up for it.
This place truly has everything casino-goers love. From the slots to the table games to the bars to the restaurants and back again to the High Limit Room, JACK Cincinnati has done it right.
The entire venue is fun and exciting, and there is money to be made. By far, the best place to lay a wager in Ohio is at JACK.
