DraftKings Opens New Sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall in Bowling Green
DraftKings and The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green have opened a new retail sportsbook, providing guests with an enhanced sports betting experience. The sportsbook is located inside the Post Time Race & Sports Lounge and offers various features to cater to sports enthusiasts.

Features and Amenities
The new sportsbook includes six kiosks and two over-the-counter betting windows, along with ample lounge seating. Guests can enjoy viewing events on more than 30 televisions. Additional kiosks are available on the main gaming floor, and there is another over-the-counter window at the Player’s Club.
Jim Mahnesmith, General Manager of The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green, stated, “We are proud to team up with DraftKings to bring retail sports betting to The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green. Especially with the launching of football and the approaching baseball playoffs, the new in-person DraftKings Sportsbook will be a wildly popular additional entertainment option not just for the Post Time Race & Sports Lounge and The Mint, but the entire Bowling Green area.”
Michael Kibort, Vice President of Retail Sportsbook Operations at DraftKings, commented, “We are excited to expand our relationship with The Mint, officially opening our third retail sportsbook location together, delivering Kentucky sports fans a space they can enjoy year-round. Our new DraftKings Sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green will offer guests an unmatched, immersive sports betting experience, just in time for the start of the football season.”
Additional Entertainment Options
Beyond sports betting, the Post Time Race & Sports Lounge offers games such as table shuffleboard and two Top Golf Swing Suites simulators. The venue also provides a full-service bar and a variety of food options.
Mahnesmith added, “The Mint Bowling Green now is a one-stop destination for betting on sports and horse racing, playing our Historical Horse Racing machines or feeling like you’re teeing off at Pebble Beach or in the middle of a hockey game with our Top Golf Swing Suites simulators. It’s also a great place to get a heck of a lunch, dinner or snack or to meet friends for drinks after work. The DraftKings Sportsbook further entrenches The Mint Gaming Hall as Bowling Green’s premier leisure time entertainment destination.”
The grand opening was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by leaders from The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green, Kentucky Sports Radio host Matt Jones, and representatives from DraftKings. Mayor Pro Tem Sue Parrigin placed the ceremonial first bet, officially launching the new sportsbook.
