Horse Racing Wagering Business Up in Virginia

According to a recent Virginia Thoroughbred Association report, rises in OTB and ADW handle in Virginia have prompted a $10 million increase in overall racing handle in the state from 2017.

Through the first seven months of the year, ADW was over $52 million, up 3.2 percent from the same period in 2017. OTB handle is up over $8 million as two new sites have opened up since 2017. Both new sites — Buckets Bar and Grill in Chesapeake, and The Windmill OTB in Collinsville — are the only two serving their regions, as the preexisting OTBs were both in Richmond.

TVG is the most popular ADW operator in Virginia, followed by TwinSpies, Xpressbet, and NYRA Bets, which is a relatively new addition to the options there.
