Over $14 million of the investment was spent with minority, women, and veteran-owned subcontracting services, according to Churchill Downs. The development of DCG Downtown generated 400 construction jobs and will result in over 150 permanent jobs, says the company, which joined Messer Construction to focus project efforts on supplier diversity, economic inclusion, and community engagement. A Kentucky Derby gift shop is located on the main level of the property with a dedicated street entrance.

The property also includes 130 on-site guest parking spaces and boasts an exterior façade wrapped with the region’s first naked-eye 3D video board. The new place is located at 140 South Fourth Street, and it is Louisville's first brick-and-mortar wagering establishment, complete with sports wagering and historic racing games. The 43,000 square-foot, two-story Kentucky Derby-themed entertainment venue includes a gaming floor with 500 state-of-the-art HRMs.ĭCG Downtown offers three food and beverage outlets including First Turn Sports Bar & Stage which hosts the property’s race and sportsbook along with a stage for live entertainment, Trophy Bar Bourbon & Cigars, and Fascinator Wine Bar. The public grand opening festivities included a commemorative ribbon cutting and a $40,000 charitable donation to Norton Healthcare Foundation and The Hope Buss. The $90 million investment marks CDI’s sixth historical racing machine (HRM) entertainment venue in the Bluegrass State. Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) opened Wednesday the new Derby City Gaming Downtown in Louisville, Kentucky.
