Option B: Bet at Self Service Terminals

 

Self-service terminals (SSTs) are automated teller machines available throughout the track. To place a bet, you'll need to obtain a betting voucher. SSTs also accept winning tickets.

Watch the handy tutorial below to learn how to use an SST.
 

Option C: Bet with a Live Teller

 

Looking to keep it old school? Live tellers will be stationed throughout the track on race day. Tellers accept cash, betting vouchers, and winning tickets.

To place your wager, state the name of the track, race number, amount to bet, type of bet, and number of the horse(s).

Example: "Saratoga, 4th race, $10 to Win on 5."
