That's all I know.
Since the end of Thoroughbred racing in VA, the OTB's have not operated.
The locations. Vinton( Near Roanoke) Ridgway( Near Martinsville) Alberta( on the border with NC off I-85. A couple in the Richmond area and one in Chesepeake. Had all closed.

All "Colonial Downs" Otb's closed at that time. A new group was formed shortly after called Virginia Equine Alliance. Otb's starting opening back up the first one less than 3 miles from my work in Richmond. ( in different locations, the old Colonial Downs Broad Street Otb has been demolished with a grocery store being built )
