And they're off! Video Lottery at Delaware racetracks
Since December 1995, when Video Lottery operations began at Delaware
Park and Dover Downs, the Lottery's ability to contribute to the General
Fund has increased significantly. Delaware Park and Dover Downs now have
over 3,000 and 2,800 Video Lottery machines, respectively. Harrington
Raceway, which has been operating since August 1996, now has approximately
1,600 Video Lottery machines. Since its start, the Delaware Video Lottery
has contributed more than $1.8 billion to the General Fund.
