Gov. Steve Beshear’s expanded gaming bill introduced today would
authorize a statewide vote to amend the state’s constitution to allow
expanded gaming in up to seven locations in Kentucky. The bill would
allow Kentucky voters to approve a constitutional amendment that would
authorize up to five casinos at racetracks and two at stand-alone
locations at least 60 miles from the nearest racetrack. Revenue from the
gaming facilities would be spent for job creation, education, human
services, health care, veterans programs, local governments, public
safety and support of the horse industry.
