Today, during his weekly news conference, Governor Andy Beshear talked about the money spent so far.
Looking at the first month of retail wagering.
Our partners are reporting a total of over $10 million of in-person sports wagering.
And with the launch of mobile wagering just from Thursday through Sunday, Kentuckians wagered over $68 million through retail and mobile channels combined.
Now that it's legal, Kentuckians are taking advantage of both in-person and mobile app locations to spend their entertainment dollars betting on things like NFL, college sports, Formula one racing and more.
These numbers shouldn't be a surprise to anyone because Kentuckians have wanted this option for so long.
When folks told us getting it passed was impossible.
But even some legislators said that they'd never pass it while I was governor.
We said, Watch this.
And together we got it done, because at the end of the day, our job is to serve the people of Kentucky.
The governor says the amount of money wagered so far has outpaced the predictions.
He says people are enjoying it and it proves legalized wagering is something Kentuckians want.
