While the app’s main infrastructure is shared, the 2-in-1 approach to the mobile experience allows each brand to have its own user interface and content feeds. The Kentucky Derby mode engages fans in the live Derby event, features highlights of Derby Week, and allows fans to access their tickets. Additional features include event maps and push notification alerts for all Derby Week guests. Previously introduced in September, the Churchill Downs Racetrack mode encompasses the 365-day racetrack experience with ticketing functionality (access, buy, transfer), maps and wayfinding throughout the venue (find my seat, food & beverage kiosks, betting windows), full race calendars with post times, results and odds, access to expert picks, messaging, and a content hub with videos, news, social and lifestyle blogs.

“Venuetize is an important component of our focus on helping our customers with mobile-first patron engagement initiatives. This next-phase deployment with Churchill Downs Racetrack showcases the flexibility offered by the Venuetize platform to help one of the most recognized brands across the sports, venue and entertainment markets further enhance their fans’ experience,” said Darren Simmons, Everi Executive Vice President and FinTech Business Leader. “The Venuetize platform brings significant benefits to help engage fans while being flexible to meet the unique needs of the iconic Churchill Downs Racetrack and Kentucky Derby.”
