Circa Sports Kentucky will debut the state’s largest retail sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs in Franklin this Summer.

The 5,100-square-foot venue aims to provide the “ultimate fan and gameday experience” and will host five staffed betting stations and four self-service kiosks, as well as a VSiN (Vegas Stats & Information Network) broadcast studio.

“After operating in Kentucky for a year, introducing a sportsbook of this caliber to the region marks a significant milestone for Circa Sports,” said Circa chief executive Derek Stevens.

“Along with Kentucky, we’re also seeing tremendous excitement from fans in Tennessee, especially in Nashville. 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 Mint has been an exceptional partner in turning this vision into reality, and we look forward to welcoming guests later this year.”

Johan Mirkovic, VP and general manager at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs, commented: “The Circa Sportsbook adds yet more amenities for our guests enjoying The Mint Gaming Hall’s gambling, entertainment and dining options. 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 favourite sporting events, no matter where you are.”
