US.- Sandy’s Racing and Gaming in Eastern Kentucky is to open to the public on Thursday (October 26). Revolutionary Racing has invested $75m in the venue in partnership with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Kentucky Quarter Horse Racing Association.
The facility will feature 700 slot-like games, nightly musical performances, screening of live sporting events on three cinema-sized screens and food. Construction on the 75,000 square-foot gaming facility at 10699 US 60 in Ashland, began in April led by Kentucky-based D.W. Wilburn Construction and the Tri-State Building Trades. Around 250 people will be employed at the venue.
The venue will also feature Kentucky’s first quarter horse racetrack, Sandy Ridge, 182 acres behind the gaming facility. Work is set to begin in early 2024, with the first races anticipated to take place in 2025.
John Marshall, president of Sandy’s Racing & Gaming, said: “With a world-class gaming floor, locally sourced dining options, multiple entertainment stages and an unbelievable BetMGM sportsbook lounge, Sandy’s will be the area’s premier entertainment destination. There is nothing else like Sandy’s and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”
Larry Lucas, chairman of Revolutionary Racing said: “We are incredibly proud to be part of the Tri-State community and even more proud to support the area with new jobs and new tax revenues.”
