Ohioans already gamble, both through existing legal wagers in Ohio and by leaving the state to participate in regional gaming and at destination meccas such as Las Vegas. Expanded gaming in Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ontario is not going away and continues to hurt Ohio horse racing. Kentucky is poised to seal the southern border with the likely election of a pro-gaming expansion governor this fall. Expanded gaming is a necessity for Ohio horse racing and its advocates will continue to pursue it.
