While there is very limited live horse racing taking place in Wyoming, the state does allow for widespread opportunities to play the horses at off track betting and simulcast sites. Wyoming is also one of the very few places in the United States that allows for betting on historical horse racing video betting machines, available at almost all Wyoming off track betting locations.
Wyoming Off Track Betting Sites
While there are several OTBs in Wyoming, it's also nice to be able to play the ponies from the comfort of home on your PC as well. That's what makes having an account with an online racebook so convenient, the fact you can bet big anytime from anywhere, and also take advantage of cash back bonuses and promotions exclusive to internet betting platforms.
As one of the most well-established online sports betting websites, Bovada is also one of the best when it comes to catering to horse players. There are several things that stand out in the Bovada racebook, beyond the standard bonuses and promotions on offer.
Bovada offers the most North American and international tracks, as well as the most "A" level tracks that provide the largest maximum payout. They also offer the most future bet options, and handicapping tips on a featured graded-stakes Race of the Week.
Wyoming Horse Race Tracks
The primary location for horse racing in Wyoming is at Wyoming Downs in Evenston, which is the only track in the state that holds thoroughbred as well as Quarter horse racing. Racing takes place every weekend from late June until mid-August. Elsewhere, there is Quarter horse racing at Sweetwater Downs in Rock Springs on the last two weekends of August and first weekend of September, at the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds in Casper on the second and third weekends of September, and at Energy Downs in Gillette on the last two weekends of September.
OTB Locations in Wyoming
Off track betting in the state of Wyoming is administered through two different organizations, those being Wyoming Downs LLC, and Wyoming Horse Racing LLC. While both organizations' websites list multiple locations throughout the state, it's difficult to determine via the Web whether all of the locations are actually in operation as OTBs as of fall 2017. As these OTBs are located mostly in bars and restaurants, which are known for frequently changing their business model, it's best to check directly with the location if in fact OTB wagering is on offer before heading out.
