Opening at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs in Franklin, it is set to feature an 80ft-wide LED screen, a 31ft-wide odds board and a floor space of over 5,100sq.ft.

“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.”

“The Circa Sportsbook adds yet more amenities for our guests enjoying The Mint Gaming Hall’s gambling, entertainment and dining options,” added Johan Mirkovic, The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs' vice president and general manager. “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. 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."
