Although Kentucky has a long tradition with horse racing, it has not legalized casinos (online or otherwise). There have been limited discussions of legalizing online casinos, but it seems unlikely that we’ll see online casinos offered there in the foreseeable future. While surrounding states have legalized various forms of online casino gambling, sports betting and poker, Kentucky has chosen to stand pat.A bill to legalize online and in-person sports betting, publicly supported by Gov. Andy Beshear, failed to come up for a vote in the 2020 legislative session. Legislation introduced on Jan. 2 would legalize casino gambling in the Bluegrass State. A second bill introduced in the state Senate by Sen. Julian Carroll would authorize sports betting in Kentucky, on the condition that the current federal law prohibiting sports betting is changed. Casinos, sports betting in Kentucky? Horse betting and racing is already big business in Kentucky. But the state appears to be serious about considering more gaming when 2018 arrives — depending on who you ask. New bills would start the process for legalizing casinos in the state: BR 197 is a proposed constitutional amendment to allow casinos. Casinos, sports betting in Kentucky?

What does it take to legalize casinos in Kentucky?
According to court rulings and attorney general opinions, Section 226 of the state Constitution would have to be amended. That section does not explicitly outlaw “casinos,” but forbids “lotteries” other than the state lottery.

Steve Beshear was approved by the Democratic-controlled House but rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate, despite the co-sponsorship of Sen. Damon Thayer, who went on to become Senate majority leader. In 2014, several bills were issued in both chambers, and all died in committees.
