The casino also has regular live craps games (including games with the fun Fire Bet option and crapless craps), and roulette. Since I get dealt 16 nearly every hand (it seems), this game may be up my alley, although I’m unsure as to the house edge on this game. The casino’s 102 live table games include Let It Ride, Pai Gow, mini-baccarat, traditional blackjack games, along with several blackjack variants, such as free bet blackjack, and “Zappit Blackjack.” In this game, when you are dealt two-card hands totaling 15, 16, 17, or 18 – you can choose to get two new cards. The average slot payout per the Ohio Casino Control Commission is in the 91.92% range and 66% of the casino’s revenue comes from these slots.

Hard Rock Cincinnati has 1,632 slot machines/video poker machines. The casino floor space is 108,000 square feet, putting it right up there with many of the resorts on the Strip. Last year, casino revenues were $228.4 million (per the Ohio Casino Control Commission).

It’s real, regular traditional 24 hour-a-day casino, similar to the ones you’ll find in Las Vegas.
