The state launched full-fledged sports betting in 2019, online via the Oregon Lottery, and live at its nine tribal casinos. That's because it had already authorized a form of athletics wagering via the state lottery at the time of PASPA's enactment. Oregon was one of a handful of states exempted from PASPA, the federal ban on sports betting that was defanged by the US Supreme Court in 2018. The subsequent decade saw a major shift in the gambling landscape, which included the establishment of tribal casinos and the legalization of video lottery terminals (VLTs) and video poker. In 1984, two thirds of voters authorized the establishment of a lottery at that year's general election. Until the 1980s, regulated gambling in Oregon was limited to parimutuel betting on live racing, primarily at the Portland Meadows racetrack, which opened in 1946 and closed in 2019.
