This week, Circa Sports Kentucky at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs cut the ribbon to officially welcome the state’s largest sportsbook.
Creating a one-of-a-kind wagering experience for Kentucky and nearby fans, the book boasts a 5,100-square-foot venue featuring an 80-foot-wide LED viewing screen, 31-foot odds board, luxury seating, live VSiN broadcast studio, and a mix of staffed betting counters and self-service kiosks.
Executives including Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of Circa Sports; Mike Palm, Vice President of Operations for Circa Sports; Ron Winchell and Marc Falcone, Co-Managing Partners of The Mint Gaming properties and Kentucky Downs; and Johan Mirkovic, Vice President and General Manager of The Mint Gaming Hall, took part in the ribbon cutting ceremony. Additionally, former Kentucky Representative Adam Koenig joined in for the festivities. Koenig was critical in building the groundwork for sports betting in the state, paving the way for Circa Sports Kentucky.
“Today marks an incredible milestone for Circa Sports Kentucky,” said Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of Circa Sports. “We are grateful to our partners at The Mint and former Representative Koenig on their important roles in getting us to the opening. We know the state of Kentucky is passionate about sports, and whether you’ve an avid bettor or a passionate fan, this will be the ultimate viewing destination.”
The Mint co-managing partner Marc Falcone said, “This transcends any experience today in Kentucky from a sports-betting perspective. We made a commitment to build a first-class facility here with Circa Sports. And after spending a lot of time with Derek and his facility in Las Vegas, we thought it was a good match not only for our mutual partnership but for them coming into the state of Kentucky. This will be, by far, the best place to watch and bet any live sporting event in Kentucky and Tennessee.”
In addition to the retail venue, Circa Sports has a mobile app, available across Kentucky, giving players statewide access to a full menu of betting options – straight bets, parlays, futures, and live in-game wagering – backed by Circa’s reputation for competitive odds and transparent limits.
Circa Sports has become known for a leadership team consisting of the top oddsmakers with a menu featuring some of the best odds in the country. Kentucky marked the fifth state for the Las Vegas-based brand, which also operates in Nevada, Illinois, Iowa and Colorado.
