DraftKings and The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green celebrated the grand opening of DraftKings’ new retail sportsbook.

Located inside the Post Time Race & Sports Lounge, the sportsbook features six kiosks, two over-the-counter windows, ample lounge seating, and provides guests with incredible viewing experiences with more than 30 televisions. An additional two kiosks are conveniently located on the main gaming floor, as well as another over-the-counter window at the Player’s Club.

“We are proud to team up with DraftKings to bring retail sports betting to The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green,” said Jim Mahnesmith, General Manager of the facility. “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. 

Leaders from The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green, Kentucky Sports Radio host Matt Jones and DraftKings were on hand to officially unveil the retail sportsbook with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the Mayor Pro Tem Sue Parrigin placed the ceremonial first bet.

“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,” said Michael Kibort, Vice President of Retail Sportsbook Operations at DraftKings. “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.”

Designed with sports fans in mind, customers that visit the retail location will have popular wagering options such as pre-game and in-game betting, as well as other engaging wagering options that fans can find on the DraftKings Sportsbook app. Inside the lounge, fans also can enjoy fun games such as table shuffle board or reserve one of the two Top Golf Swing Suites simulators.

“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,” said Mahnesmith. “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.”
