Kentucky Governor Places First Legal Sports Wager as Sports Gambling Launches Statewide

TL;DR
Governor Andy Beshear placed the first legal sports wagers in Kentucky as sports gambling became live in the state. Kentucky is now the 34th state to allow sports gambling. In-person wagering can be done at nine brick and mortar facilities, including the Churchill Downs Race and Sports Book. The facility offers cash-only kiosks, in-person windows, sports gambling kiosks, and the option to build a bet in line. There may be some initial hiccups, but the Churchill Downs staff is ready to assist users.
