Circa Sports announced a new addition to the Kentucky sports betting market on Thursday, as it plans to open a temporary retail sportsbook at the Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs.
According to a press release, the temporary sportsbook will open on Aug. 12, in time for the college football and NFL betting seasons. Circa’s temporary build-out will feature multiple betting windows and KY sports betting kiosks. The larger, permanent addition to Kentucky’s NFL sportsbooks will open next summer.
“Having the agreement with Circa and getting the regulators involved, everything started a few months back,” John Wholihan, marketing director for Mint Gaming Hall, told LSR on Thursday. “It got done on time, and that’s not a guarantee for every property to have their brick-and-mortar running before football season. We were able to, and it works out for everyone.”
