A New Betting Destination Takes Shape
Circa Sports is expanding its presence in the US market with a bold move into Kentucky. The operator has revealed plans to launch the state’s largest retail sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs in Franklin. Set to open its doors this summer, the venue promises to redefine the sports betting experience in the region.
The new sportsbook will boast an impressive 5,100 square feet of space, designed to accommodate sports enthusiasts comfortably. Patrons can look forward to 113 stadium-style seats, including luxury recliners and booth-style options. The centerpiece of the venue will be an 80-foot-wide LED screen, complemented by a 31-foot-wide odds board displaying real-time betting information.
Cutting-Edge Features and Broadcast Capabilities
In a move that sets it apart from traditional sportsbooks, the venue will house a Vegas Stats & Information Network (VSiN) Broadcast Studio. This feature will bring daily insights from sports pundits directly to bettors, enhancing the overall experience.
For those ready to place wagers, the sportsbook will offer five staffed kiosks, including an ADA-accessible option. Additionally, four self-service kiosks will be available within the sportsbook, with three more located in The Mint Gaming Hall.
Cross-Border Appeal
Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Sports, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “Together with The Mint, we’re creating a high-tech betting destination that will bring a new level of live-viewing excitement for customers across both states.”
The strategic location of the sportsbook is expected to attract bettors not only from Kentucky but also from neighboring Tennessee, particularly the Nashville area. This cross-border appeal could significantly boost the venue’s potential customer base.
Johan Mirkovic, VP and general manager of The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs, echoed this sentiment, adding, “This region, spanning the Kentucky-Tennessee border, is a true sports enthusiast’s haven. The upcoming Circa Sportsbook will elevate the experience, offering the area’s premier viewing venue for all your favorite sporting events—no matter where you are.”
As the sports betting market continues to evolve, this partnership between Circa Sports and The Mint Gaming Hall represents a significant development in the region’s gambling landscape. The new sportsbook is poised to become a premier destination for sports bettors, offering a blend of advanced technology, comfort, and expert analysis in one comprehensive package.
