FRANKLIN, Ky. (Tuesday, December 17, 2024) — It’s the most wonderful time of the year, indeed! And the Mint Gaming Hall properties throughout southern Kentucky are adding to the holiday cheer with a ho ho ho! lot of promotions.

We’re giving away cash, free play, merchandise and, of course, our annual Kentucky Downs/The Mint souvenir wall calendar on New Year’s Day.

Mint Gaming Hall at Kentucky Downs in Franklin, The Mint Gaming Hall Bowling Green and The Mint Gaming Hall Cumberland in Williamsburg are staging some form of drawings every day heading into the New Year, with select promotions also offered at The Mint Gaming Hall Cumberland Run in Corbin.

Promotions are limited to Mint Rewards Players Club members. The players-club program is free to join; those at least 21 years old can sign up on the spot to be eligible for giveaways. Those signing up for The Mint Rewards and The Mint Gaming Hall app also can win up to $1,000 in free play. More information is available at TheMintGaming.com, and at the onsite Players Clubs.
