The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) is a gaming control board in Ohio that provides oversight of the state's casinos.[1][3]
History
[edit]In 1990, several Ohio cities filed petitions to the Ohio General Assembly to authorize casino gambling in the state and establish an independent agency to regulate the industry.[6]
The commission was created in 2011 with the passage of Ohio's Casino Control Law in 2011.[1][3]
Composition
[edit]The commission is bipartisan and composed of seven commissioners appointed by the governor of Ohio with the advice and consent of the Ohio Senate.[1][3][4]
Activities
[edit]The Commission is authorized to license, regulate, investigate, and exert jurisdiction over all people engaging in casino gaming in Ohio. The Commission adopts administrative rules and resolutions which establish the standards and procedures for casino operators, vendors, and licensed gaming industry employees.[1][2][3]
