Do you like slot machines — err, I mean, historical horse racing machines? You’re in luck because Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) just announced plans to open a new historical racing machine entertainment venue in downtown Louisville. So, basically, a slot machine casino.
Derby City Gaming Downtown, a 43,000 square-foot space, will be located at 140 South 4th Street at the corner of South 4th and West Market. The venue will include 500 historical racing machines, a fresh-air gaming area, and 200 onsite parking spaces. There will be three bars: a main-level sports bar, a bourbon library, and a wine and charcuterie lounge.
