In July 2009 Ohio Governor Ted Strickland signed an executive order authorizing video lottery terminals to be allowed at seven horse tracks throughout the state. The VLTs will be regulated by the Ohio Lottery Commission and the earliest they are expected to be in operation is early 2012.
Following are the seven horse tracks that are eligible to have the VLTs. Call ahead to each track before visiting to be sure they have their VLTs in operation.
