Gambling on horses is legal in the state. In fact, there are a number of top tracks based out of PA.
Penn National Race Course
The Meadows Racetrack and Casino
Philadelphia Park Race Track
Harrah’s Philadelphia
The Downs at Carbondale
Parx Casino
Penn National Off-track Wagering
Pennsylvania though is a big state and getting to any one of these race tracks is not always convenient. Betting online is often still the only way to go without having to drive a ridiculous number of miles to get to the closest race track. In fact, all but one of these race tracks can be found in the Eastern half of the state with the Meadows Racetrack and Casino located just off I-79, 20 minutes south of Pittsburgh..
