Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center

Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center Tri-State Racetrack, which markets itself under the name "Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center", is a "racino" located in an enclave of the city limits of Nitro, West Virginia, although it is actually located several miles from that city and is generally thought of as being in the unincorporated community of Cross Lanes, West Virginia. It is located just off the Cross Lanes exit of I-64, 14 miles west of Charleston, West Virginia and 36 miles east of Huntington, West Virginia. It features slot machines, live greyhound racing, and off-track betting for both greyhound and horse racing. It features several restaurants and food operations. The facility has a Mardi Gras theme, similar to that used by the Harrah's chain of casinos, but is not owned by that corporation. The track is currently expanding its casino offerings, as casino gambling was legalized in 2007. It currently has a large poker room, and offers the table games of blackjack, roulette, craps, three card poker, four card poker and Let It Ride. Much of the gaming space remains closed for remodeling. On February 3, 2009 track management admitted that its promise to construct a hotel, a permanent separate casino, an arena and other improvement promised in the casino gambling legalization election would not happen "for the foreseeable future".
