Sandy’s Racing & Gaming Celebrates Grand Opening
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear helped open the doors Thursday at Sandy’s Racing & Gaming – a $75 million entertainment facility in Eastern Kentucky that creates nearly 250 new jobs and millions of dollars in new tax revenues.
With nearly 700 historical horse racing games, two performance stages and a BetMGM Race & Sportsbook, the 75,000 square-foot facility is unlike anything else in the area.
“Last year, we promised to bring a first-class facility to Boyd County,” said Larry Lucas, Chairman of Revolutionary Racing Kentucky, which is making the investment together with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. “Today, we can say – promises made, promises kept.”
The project will also include Kentucky’s only quarter horse racetrack and an equestrian center, located on 182 acres behind Sandy’s. While track construction is officially set to begin in early 2024, Thursday’s festivities included a ceremonial blast, leveling some of the hills at the track site. The first races are set to happen there in 2025, marking continued growth for Kentucky’s thriving horse racing industry.
“Sandy’s Racing & Gaming is bringing top-tier racing, gaming and entertainment to Northeastern Kentucky, along with hundreds of new jobs for the people who call Boyd County and the surrounding region home. Congratulations to Revolutionary Racing and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians for creating this exciting destination,” Gov. Beshear said.
Last summer, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission awarded the state’s ninth and final horse racing license to Revolutionary Racing Kentucky. Construction began in April and was led by Lexington’s D.W. Wilburn Construction and the Tri-State Building Trades. More than 300 local union workers were employed throughout the project and 90% of all materials and supplies were made in the US.
Amenities include a 5200 square-foot sportsbook, which features dozens of leather recliners and three cinema-sized screens. Daily entertainment will take place on two stages, which include dueling pianos, as well as local and national performers. Country star and Boyd County native Cole Chaney starred as the opening-night headliner, while last year’s “American Idol” winner Noah Thompson delivered a surprise performance.
A craft-focused kitchen offers multiple dining options, with all meat locally sourced from AW Meat House in Argillite. Menu highlights include the Big Sandy Burger, flatbreads, root beer floats made with The Peddler in Huntington, West Virginia and Sandy’s Ale – a craft beer made by Mikerphone Brewing in Illinois, which is only available at Sandy’s.

The Most Anticipated Studio Debut of the Year: DELULU Gaming Officially Enters the iGaming Market
The new-generation game studio makes its official debut backed by integrations with major platforms, and a private Soft Launch Dinner in London that introduced the brand to the C-level circle of the iGaming world.
DELULU Gaming has officially entered the iGaming market — and from day one, the studio has made clear it is not here to blend in. The brand marked its debut with a private Soft Launch Dinner in London, held alongside iGB London, introducing DELULU to a curated circle of 250+ C-level industry leaders.
Another milestone came even before the official market launch: DELULU’s debut portfolio went live on Stake, one of the world’s most influential iGaming brands.
Partnerships in Place from Day One
The launch is backed by key partnerships already in place. DELULU Gaming has completed its integration with SoftGamings, one of the industry’s leading aggregators, giving operators across the network immediate access to the studio’s portfolio. SOFTSWISS joins as Strategic Technology Partner, bringing reliable infrastructure, deep industry expertise, and a trusted ecosystem to support DELULU’s growth from the very first step. The studio is also working with Tequity and several other partners, with more to be announced.
And this is only the beginning. New partnerships and integrations are already in the pipeline, with more announcements to follow as DELULU expands its reach across the industry.
Arthur Sheikhaliev, CEO of DELULU Gaming, commented: “Launching DELULU is the result of a bold vision and the work of an exceptional team. We enter the market with strong partnerships and a portfolio we’re proud of. From this point, our focus is on building DELULU into a trusted global brand.”
DELULU Gaming is already expanding its presence across the industry. The team is actively meeting operators and aggregators interested in integrating DELULU content, with meetings available both online and at upcoming industry events throughout 2026.
Built for a Market That Rewards Quality
DELULU enters at a moment when operators are prioritising quality and distinctive experiences over volume. The studio’s answer: games built around player behaviour, mechanical clarity, and a visual identity designed to stand out from the first frame.
The debut portfolio reflects that approach:
Candy Chaos → 7×7 cluster pays with bomb mechanics and player- selectable Free Spin volatility. Controlled chaos engineered for high engagement and serious replay value.
Dogs Arena → ways-to-win game with expandable reels (4×5 up to 6×5), player-selectable volatility via Wild fighter characters, and scatter-triggered Free Spins with three Barrel colour modes.
Oh My Gods → 6×5 pay-anywhere grid with a dual Free Spins system: choose Zeus or Thor, each unlocking totally different FS modes. Ends with a Final Gods Clash that multiplies total win x3 if your god wins.
MLK Voyage → 5×4 reel adventure with three scatter-triggered bonus modes, Barrel Boost progression, and max win up to 20,000x. Old-school energy with new-school mechanical ambition.
Portal Plinko → sci-fi instant-win with adjustable risk tiers, multi-ball drops, and a free-only GIGA Ball Surge locking multipliers up to 100x. Plinko reimagined for players who want every drop to count.
Every title is stream-ready from day one, with bold visuals, tight mechanics, and math engineered for emotional impact. New titles are already in development with more releases planned in the coming months.
