Daktronics Delivers 80-Foot Viewing Experience at Circa Kentucky Downs

Daktronics of Brookings, South Dakota, partnered with Circa Sports Kentucky to deliver a state-of-the-art video display in their sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs in Franklin. The sportsbook features an 80-foot-wide display, a 31-foot-wide odds board and two ticker displays for a 5,100-square-foot visual experience. Displays were installed over the winter months as the space is now open to visitors in Kentucky.

Circa Sports Kentucky now features the largest sportsbook in the state of Kentucky and one of the largest sportsbooks east of the Mississippi River. The sportsbook had been in a soft launch mode leading up to its official ribbon-cutting event in late August 2025.

The four displays at the Kentucky Downs location combine for 2,000+ total square feet:

    Main sportsbook: 16 feet high by 80 feet wide featuring 1.9-millimeter pixel spacing
    Main oddsbook: 16 feet high by 32 feet wide featuring 2.5-millimeter pixel spacing
    Sportsbook ticker: 2 feet high by 117 feet wide featuring 2.5-millimeter pixel spacing
    Vestibule ticker: 1 foot high by 66 feet wide featuring 2.5-millimeter pixel spacing

The main sportsbook is the visual centerpiece that shares live video of races and sporting events for viewers to keep updated on all the action right before their eyes. The odds board lets audiences know their options and helps make informed betting decisions. The ticker displays ensure all the up-to-date information is available at all times.
