Gambling on Horse Racing in Louisiana
Among Southern states, Louisiana falls on the more liberal end of the spectrum when it comes to gambling.
The Pelican State has legal casino and riverboat gambling, pari-mutuel horse and dog racing, a lottery, widespread video poker and, of course, charitable gaming. Louisiana is home to four major horse racetracks offering live racing – all of which also offer slot machines to boost purses. It also has an off-track wagering network.
It should also be mentioned that Louisiana has produced many top jockeys who cut their teeth on the so-called bush tracks back in the day, including Eddie Delahoussaye, Craig Perret, Randy Romero, Kent Desormeaux and Calvin Borel.
