Jay Kornegay finds himself occasionally needing to surpass his own accomplishments.
Actually, he operates the SuperBook right from the comfort of his own home.
Describing it as a mere understatement to say that it is significant for Kornegay would be an understatement. The executive vice president of operations at the Westgate SuperBook emphasized that this is the reason they have dedicated their utmost effort and passion into their inaugural expansion beyond Nevada. He expressed their desire to guarantee that it meets the expectations of Colorado sports enthusiasts (and bettors) in every aspect.
Kornegay is about to experience another groundbreaking moment in betting.
Colorado will soon welcome a Las Vegas-style casino as the financial SuperBook is set to make its debut at the Lodge Casino in Black Hawk on June 25.
Late in December, the SuperBook sports betting app was introduced.
On Wednesday, Kornegay notified PlayinColorado.
When reflecting on my career journey from Colorado to Nevada, it was unimaginable that sports gambling would expand to other states for quite some time. Even now, I am amazed that we have the opportunity to establish a SuperBook in Colorado. We feel incredibly fortunate to have this chance and look forward to serving Colorado’s sports enthusiasts for many years ahead.
Ribbon-cutting service for the SuperBook financial sportsbook
Kornegay revealed that a ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for June 25 at noon, coinciding with the launch of the financial sportsbook. Moreover, the SuperBook plans to distribute various items and excitingly, there will be appearances by renowned superstars in the near future.
Although the details are still being finalized, Kornegay mentioned that there are high chances of Mark Schlereth attending the event. They are also making efforts to persuade the mayor of Black Hawk to join. Schlereth, a former Denver Broncos offensive lineman, currently works as a sports scientist for Fox and co-hosts a morning radio show in Denver.
If you are fully immunized, wearing masks is not required, but it is recommended for those who have not received complete immunization.
According to Kornegay, the SuperBook will offer a great experience with a smaller scale compared to Las Vegas. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive sports practice with a 360-degree view, creating a fantastic sports environment where all games are displayed. We also offer excellent food and beverage options. Our aim is to create an enjoyable atmosphere at the Lodge for people to appreciate.
Planning for the financial establishment that COVID-19 halted
Due to the impact of COVID-19, the construction of the SuperBook wholesale store has taken over a year, significantly hindering its progress and causing delays.
According to Kornegay, construction has recently started after the plan was quickly decided upon.
According to Kornegay, The Lodge has been highly praised as an exceptional host. They have displayed remarkable flexibility and have been extremely cooperative throughout our dealings. Additionally, they have gone above and beyond to meet our needs by offering a wide range of choices for the casino located within their premises.
What the new SuperBook will bring to Colorado sporting punters
The sportsbook is situated on the second floor of the Lodge Casino, conveniently located next to the buffet and steakhouse. It is positioned adjacent to the atrium of their gaming area on the same floor.
Kornegay suggests that the SuperBook may be positioned on the opposite side of the room from the hall.
Amenties
Here’s how you can expect the SuperBook to be:
- 28 televisions
- An operational sports table complete with eight poker tables.
- Three gaming sites
- At first, there existed a total of five betting establishments.
- food and drink options
- There are payment stations that are linked to table rails and equipped with foot rests.
- There are 28 large, specially designed couches accompanied by a table and a pot owner.
- The sum amounts to several hundred, encompassing the observation area, the casino, and the space in between.
According to Kornegay, the arrival of the club chairs is scheduled for the end of July, so they won’t be immediately available. However, temporary chairs are currently provided to ensure accommodation during the first few months in the meantime.
According to Kornegay, there are individuals who do not enjoy sitting at the charging stations located along the cafe rails while being in the casino. As a result, the club wires serve as a convenient alternative. Kornegay further mentioned that these club wires are highly favored at the SuperBook in Las Vegas.
According to Kornegay, selecting that location was driven by the desire to be closer to the kitchens, enabling easy access to food delivery services during busy days.
Colorado has surpassed objectives for sports gambling.
Kornegay expressed that the SuperBook’s expansion into Colorado aligns with their expectations, as they get ready to establish a second physical store outside of Nevada. The state is filled with passionate sports enthusiasts, not only supporting the local Colorado team but also displaying a fervor for sports overall. Kornegay finds this fact astonishing, even as someone who is originally from Colorado.
He further mentioned that the impact is becoming evident in the domain of sports betting in Colorado.
According to Kornegay, they have enhanced their understanding of the sports betting industry in the past year. Kornegay expressed satisfaction with their results.
If you see Kornegay pinching himself at the launch of the SuperBook retail sportsbook at The Lodge, please excuse him.
