Casinos Gear Up for Derby Day

The Kentucky Derby is known as the “Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” and that infamous two minutes is set to occur this Sunday. The first weekend in May is always earmarked for the most famous horse race in the world, one-third of the Triple Crown that also includes the Belmont and Preakness Stakes. In Louisville, Kentucky, southern belles are already gathering ingredients for their mint juleps and shaking the dusk off their most bodacious, wide-brimmed hats. On the World Wide Web, the tireless online slots and casino gambling industry is readying their sports book divisions for one of the biggest days of the year.

The Derby is the biggest event in horse betting, simply put. Online slot machine and casino gambling sites with sports betting subsidiaries have already drawn up their odds and are still taking bets on the results of the one-and-one-quarter mile race that takes place at the Churchill Downs racetrack. An estimated one hundred fifty-five thousand fans are expected to be on hand in person to see the race run between three-year old thoroughbreds; no one can even estimate how many millions of gamblers have bet their luck on their horse of choice at both land and online casinos around the country and throughout the world.

It’s still not too late to check into your favorite online slots and casino gambling site to place your own bets for the Kentucky Derby. Or maybe you can just check out the excitement from the comfort of home while spinning the reels of your favorite pokey!
