An Associated Press review finds that gambling interests positioning for lucrative business in Ohio's developing betting landscape gave nearly $1 million to a nonprofit that helped Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine get reelected
that authorized electronic instant bingo at Ohio veterans and fraternal clubs. Further, state senators passed a bill in June seeking to settle a long-running stalemate over internet-based lottery gaming, or iLottery, in the state — clarifying that the state lottery commission overseen by DeWine has the ability to operate such games. The legislation died in the House last week.
Yet those are just two of the companies, lobbyists or interest groups with stakes in Ohio's gaming marketplace that show up as RGA donors. In another case, Michael Kiggin, a member of DeWine's inner circle and lobbyist for the lottery app JackPocket, contributed $25,000 to RGA in January. He didn't immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
