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!
