Self-service kiosks make it easy to place bets at Winners venues without waiting in line for a teller. These touchscreen terminals walk you through every step of the betting process, from selecting your track and race to printing your ticket. Whether you're placing a quick Win bet or building out an Exacta or Pick 3, kiosks let you wager at your own pace.

They’re designed to be intuitive, but if you’re new to betting in person, here’s what to expect.


How to Place a Bet at the Kiosk

1. Choose Your Track and Race
You’ll start by selecting the race track (e.g., Belmont Park) and the race number. The kiosk shows live and upcoming races based on your venue’s simulcast schedule.

2. Select Your Bet Type
Options include:

  • Win, Place, Show

  • Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta

  • Daily Double, Pick 3, Pick 4 (track-dependent)

Note: More advanced bets like Pick 5 and Pick 6 may not be available on all kiosks.

3. Enter Your Horse(s) and Bet Amount
Choose the number of the horse(s) you’re backing and how much you want to wager. Some kiosks allow wheel or box bets, but part-wheels may require a teller.

4. Confirm and Pay
Double-check your selections, insert cash (kiosks do not accept cards), and print your ticket. Most kiosks accept $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills.

5. Keep Your Ticket Safe
Your printed ticket is required to claim any winnings. Lost tickets can’t be replaced.


What Can’t You Do at the Kiosk?

  • No card payments or mobile wallets — cash only.

  • Limited ticket management — cancellations or bet changes typically require a teller.

  • No player account login — wagers are anonymous and offline.

  • High-stakes or complicated wagers — some multi-race combinations must be placed at the window.


💡 Did You Know? Some Winners venues switch to kiosk-only betting during quiet hours or when teller windows are closed. Always check posted hours at your local site.
