FILE - Betting kiosks are seen inside Caesars Sportsbook inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022, in Cleveland. The stakes are higher in Ohio this year for March Madness — and not just because it's a regional host for the first round of the men's NCAA basketball tournament. For the first time, sports fans in Ohio are able to click on a mobile app — or tap into kiosk at a bar, restaurant or grocery store — and legally bet on the famed basketball tournament.
