Kentucky is Ready for the Best Horseracing Casinos

The state of Kentucky has always been known as a horse-racing state.  Take the Kentucky Derby, for instance.  This is one of the largest and most anticipated horse races in the world.  And with horse-racing comes the prospect of betting and even gambling online.  So it only makes sense that Kentucky is expressing a strong interest in bringing casino gambling into its borders.

However, there is a general dissidence in how to go about doing this.  Many would have expected that the idea of building casinos in Kentucky would have been met with more opposition from anti-gambling lawmakers.  Contrary to these expectations, the real opponents, or rather, those who do not agree with the Kentucky Equine Education Project, feel that if casinos are put up in Kentucky, they need to be built on their own property, and need not be associated with any of the racetracks already existing in the state.

The Kentucky Equine Education Project thinks just the opposite.  They, as well as other horse racing groups, have expressed their belief that casinos should go up within the horsetracks themselves.  Their defense is that if people are coming to gamble at the horsetracks anyways, they will be more inclined to gamble at a casino as well.  Cities in Kentucky who do not have racetracks, argue that claim, stating they will be left in the dust.  As far as they are concerned, the casinos should go up in these cities, thereby bringing in more business where it is needed.

To address the concerns of both parties, Senator David Boswell has sponsored a bill that is in its pre-submission stage.  The bill requests a total of nine casino sites in Kentucky, with five of those located within horse racing tracks, and the remaining four located in cities without tracks.
