The wait is almost over. Sports gambling is coming to Kentucky in less than sixty days.
On Monday, Governor Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission announced that sports gambling will be available throughout the Commonwealth in time for football this fall. In a meeting at The Red Mile in Lexington, the committee unanimously approved new emergency regulations that will govern sports wagering and get the ball rolling in Kentucky so it’s up and running before kickoff.
Governor Beshear followed the vote with a signature to make it official.
