Golden Gate Hotel & Casino replacing live dealer games with ETGs

Having been originally built approximately 100 years prior, Golden Gate Hotel & Casino claims to be the oldest standing hotel to be located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, the longest-standing hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, will officially shift from live dealer games to electronic table games (ETGs), according to property Owner & CEO Derek Stevens. 

“Big changes are coming to the Golden Gate, and we couldn’t be more excited. As the oldest hotel in Las Vegas, we’ve always embraced the future, and now we’re reimagining our casino floor with a high-energy electronic table games pit unlike anything downtown has seen,” Stevens said. 

“Expect more excitement, faster gameplay and all the newest machines. All of our table games team members at the Golden Gate are being offered roles at Circa or the D, or the opportunity to explore new departments within the company.”

As Stevens noted, current table games dealers working at Golden Gate Hotel & Casino will now be offered similar roles at Circa Resort & Casino and The D in Las Vegas, properties also overseen by the gaming executive. 

On July 23, Circa Sports Kentucky held the official soft launch of its new sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs in Franklin, offering over 5,100 sq ft of betting space and now accepting reservations for guests.

“We’re proud to officially open the doors to this new sports betting experience for fans across the region,” Stevens said at the time of announcement. 

“Whether you’re placing a bet or simply watching the action unfold, this book is built to be a premier gameday spot for Kentucky, Nashville and beyond. We’re grateful to The Mint Kentucky Downs in their help in bringing Circa Sports’ vision to life.”

Features of the sportsbook include an 80-foot LED viewing experience, 113 stadium-style, reclining or booth seating options, five betting stations, a live broadcast studio and 31-foot odds board for real-time lines and updates.
