While it's difficult to list every aspect of every jurisdiction in North America, there are a few general observations that can be made. Since governments and goverment policies can change from year to year, the rules about wagering and OTBs can also change. As mentioned above, however, it's important to note that every state or province sets their own rules about gambling on horses and the availability of off track betting. Just like going to the track, going to an OTB to bet thoroughbred or harness racing can be a great day out with friends, particularly in places where the majority of OTBs are located in pubs or restaurants.
