Job fairs to feature positions at new gaming facility in Calvert City

A pair of job fairs in January will feature available positions at Marshall Yards Gaming, the new gaming facility in Calvert City.

The events will take place on January 7th and 9th in Marshall County as the venue ramps up to its opening. Jobs listed as available include security, cashiers, cooks, and bartenders, among others. The first event will be in Calvert City on the 7th at the Marshall County Public Library location on 5th Avenue.  The second will be on the 9th at the CFSB building on 5th Street in Benton.

The $50 million Marshall Yards project is scheduled to open in early 2026 at the former Willow Pond Restaurant location off I-24. It's planned to include 250 historical racing machines, a sports bar, a retail sportsbook, simulcast wagering, and multiple dining options.

The 23,000-square-foot facility is expected to offer 90 permanent full-time positions once it opens. It will be the eighth historical horse racing entertainment venue in Kentucky for Churchill Downs, approved by the Calvert City Council, and will operate as an extension of Oak Grove Racing, Gaming, and Hotel in Christian County, where live harness racing is also offered from March through July.

Historical horse racing, also known as instant racing, uses electronic terminals resembling slot machines that allow players to bet on replays of horse races or dog races that have already been run.
