Circa Sports Enters Kentucky Market
Circa Sports is expanding its presence in the sports betting market with the launch of a new retail sportsbook at the Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs.

Strategic Timing and Market Expansion
The temporary sportsbook is scheduled to open on August 12, just in time for the upcoming college football and NFL betting seasons.
According to a press release, the temporary setup will include multiple betting windows and Kentucky sports betting kiosks, providing a comprehensive in-person betting experience.
A larger, permanent sportsbook is expected to open next summer, further solidifying Circa’s foothold in the Kentucky market.
The Appeal of In-Person Sports Betting in Kentucky
The new sportsbook at Mint Gaming Hall, located in Franklin, Kentucky, will be the closest in-person sports betting venue to Nashville, Tennessee.
“Launching a sportsbook in a new state is a significant milestone for any operator, and we couldn’t think of a better venue than The Mint Gaming Hall,” said Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Sports. “Kentucky’s passion for sports makes it an ideal location, and we’re excited to offer customers a unique betting experience, combining some of the best odds in the industry with top-tier service.”
The launch of the Circa Sportsbook coincides with Kentucky Downs’ short thoroughbred racing season, which spans only seven days.
The brand launched its mobile betting app in Kentucky via a licensing agreement with ECL Corbin, LLC at its Cumberland Run harness track. Wagers on the Circa Sports Kentucky app can only be made while the patron is within Kentucky state lines. The minimum deposit is $20 and payment providers include Play+, ACH (VIP Preferred), Wire Transfer and Debit/Credit Cards via VISA and MasterCard.
“Today marks the beginning of an exciting journey into the world of sports, where every page tells a story of passion, victory, and determination,” said The Mint Gaming Hall General Manager Johan Mirkovic. “As we open the doors to our new sportsbook and great partnership with Circa’s amazing team, we invite you to immerse yourself in the thrill of the game and the beauty of competition. Join us as we celebrate the spirit of athleticism and the joy of sportsmanship – may this book be a testament to the timeless love for all things sports!”
