BetMGM is collaborating with Revolutionary Racing Kentucky to introduce sports wagering to the state. As the Kentucky sports betting market prepares to commence, BetMGM is poised to provide both digital and physical sports betting options.
This alliance will see BetMGM establish a retail sportsbook within Sandy’s Racing & Gaming. This 5,200 square foot venue will be a central element of the $75 million Sandy’s development. Although the complete facility is not anticipated to debut until the following year, the BetMGM sportsbook should be operational by this autumn, coinciding with the September 7th initiation of in-person sports betting in Kentucky.
Internet-based sports betting in Kentucky will shortly follow retail betting, with an anticipated launch date of September 28th.
BetMGM Chief Executive Officer Adam Greenblatt stated: “Kentucky possesses a storied and extensive background in athletics – accompanied by an enthusiastic supporter base. Joining forces with Revolutionary Racing presents us with an ideal chance to furnish an enjoyable and ethical gaming experience while simultaneously benefiting the state through employment generation and tax income.”
Beyond the sportsbook, the 182-acre Sandy’s Racing & Gaming property will also house Kentucky’s inaugural equestrian and racetrack, projected to open its doors to the public in 2025.
Dedicated to an exceptional experience for racing enthusiasts here in Ashland,” stated Prentice Salter, Chief Executive Officer of Revolutionary Racing. “Furthermore, we aim to collaborate with renowned entities to provide digital sports wagering throughout the state, encompassing our sportsbook lounge. Our alliance with BetMGM achieves this objective.”
Revolutionary Racing is not the sole organization joining forces with a prominent operator in anticipation of Kentucky’s sports betting introduction. Caesars Sportsbook has established agreements with both Keeneland and Red Mile.
