The Old Dominion does not allow many forms of gambling, as table games, cards, and slots are all illegal according to state provisions. Virginia does have a state and regional lottery though, as well as pari-mutuel wagers and live racecourses, which are popular. The racecourses, however, do not offer any type of other games, unlike many of the ‘racinos’ found in other states across the country. Charitable and social gaming is also allowed in Virginia. q4i12
