Circa Sports Kentucky to Open State's Largest Sportsbook

Known for its sharp lines and appeal to bettors of all kinds, Circa Sports Kentucky is expanding its footprint with the debut of Kentucky’s largest retail sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs in Franklin. Opening this summer, the new 21 and over venue will feature an 80-foot-wide LED screen, a 31-foot-wide odds board and over 5,100 square feet of action-packed space designed for the ultimate fan and gameday experience.

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

Fans at Circa Sports’s new state-of-the-art book can enjoy:

•     80-Foot-Wide Viewing Experience: Fans can watch all the gameday action on an 80-foot-wide LED screen, complete with a 31-foot-wide odds board displaying real-time lines and updates.
•     Premium Seating Options: Guests can relax in comfort in one of 113 stadium-style seats, luxury recliners or three tiers of booth-style seating.
•     Flexible Betting Access: The Circa Sports Kentucky sportsbook will feature five staffed betting stations, including an ADA-accessible station, and four self-service kiosks. Three self-service kiosks will be located within The Mint Kentucky Downs casino for ultimate convenience.
•     Live Broadcast Studio: A VSiN (Vegas Stats & Information Network) broadcast studio will be housed within the book, where live on-air talent, analysis and gameday content will be captured daily. Founded in Las Vegas, VSiN provides coverage across major sports through broadcasts, podcasts and digital content, all designed to inform and empower the betting audience.

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. Whether it's electrifying college football Saturdays, NFL Sundays, thrilling baseball playoffs, or beyond, this will become the go-to destination for fans to gather, celebrate, and immerse themselves in the excitement."
