Kentucky: New Churchill Downs casino in Louisville city center off to slow start, figures show
When Derby City Gaming opened in downtown Louisville in December, the CEO of Churchill Downs Inc. said the casino-like venue represented a “much needed entertainment facility in this region” and “an investment in the spirit and the culture and the future of our city.”
But the $90 million downtown gaming venue is off to a slow start, according to figures from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, which regulates the slots-style “historical horse racing” machines featured there.
From the facility’s opening Dec. 6 through March 31, the new downtown location generated only about one-quarter of the revenue per machine of the original Derby City Gaming off Poplar Level Road, according to figures published by the KHRC.
