Ohio may soon be added to the growing list of states across the country to legalize sports betting.

Neighboring states, such as Michigan, West Virginia and Pennsylvania have already generated tens of millions of dollars. All bets are on the table, or could be soon.

The Ohio House and Senate passed House Bill 29 Wednesday, sending it to Gov. Mike DeWine's desk. Earlier this year, the governor admitted sports gambling would soon come to Ohio, for signing.

"This is something that's inevitable and is coming to Ohio," DeWine told reporters during a virtual press conference. Should be sign HB 29, the launch would come no later than Jan. 1, 2023.

So how much could Ohio really gain through regulated sports betting? Taking a look at the 30 states plus Washington, D.C., that have active, legal sports betting, it seems like the pockets run deep.
