The partnership between BetMGM and RRKY will result in significant developments in Kentucky's gaming and entertainment landscape. Among these, the unveiling of a new 5,200 square-foot BetMGM Sportsbook stands out. This facility will find its home at Sandy's Racing & Gaming, a prominent $75 million gaming and entertainment location in Ashland.
The collaboration doesn't end there; Revolutionary Racing has grand visions for Kentucky's racing industry, including constructing the state's first-ever quarter horse racetrack along with a neighboring equestrian center. These cutting-edge facilities, occupying 182 acres next to Sandy's, will undoubtedly enrich the racing scene, with the inaugural races projected for 2025.
