Cleveland will be the first Ohio city to open its casino. The Horseshoe Casino is slated to open in early 2012 in the Higbee Building at Tower City Center. This is a temporary site while the permanent casino site is being built just to the south of Tower City Center. The casino will have 2,000 slot machines, 50-60 gaming tables, 25-30 poker tables, 2 bars and a 400-seat buffet-style restaurant. The casino is expected to employ 1,500 to 1,600 people.
