The 3D video board features the most advanced LED technology and displays dynamic, engaging shows without special glasses.

“Derby City Gaming Downtown and Churchill Downs Incorporated are thrilled to introduce our unique, new naked-eye 3D video board to downtown Louisville,” said Garth Williams, General Manager of DCG Downtown. “This 90-degree, wrap-around, state-of-the-art LED display will provide our guests and downtown visitors with an unparalleled viewing experience while establishing Derby City Gaming Downtown as a world-class gaming and entertainment venue.”
DCG Downtown is set to open on December 6, 150 days before the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. The new state-of-the-art historical horse racing entertainment venue follows in the successful footsteps of the original Derby City Gaming & Hotel on Poplar Level Road. It will feature three unique bar and lounge experiences, nearly 500 Historical Racing Machines (“HRM’s), 200 onsite parking spaces and a Race & Sports Book with convenient kiosks for sports wagering.

“CDI is committed to investing in the city of Louisville with our Derby City Gaming Downtown venture,” said Bill Carstanjen, CEO of CDI. “Our HRM expansion will be a win for the entire community and will create $10 to $12 million per year in additional purse money for horsemen racing at Churchill Downs Racetrack. It is important that the home of the Kentucky Derby is a city that is thriving — a great place to live, work and visit. We are committed to helping create economic vibrancy for every area of our community.”
