On Thursday, Gov. Andy Beshear updated Kentuckians on COVID-19 and said while new cases continue to plateau and the state’s positivity rate declines, the commonwealth set a record of newly reported deaths – a result of the state’s previous spike in cases.
“Our death report today is by far the most people that we’ve lost, and remember, that’s a reflection of where this virus was about three weeks ago, where it was trending,” said Gov. Beshear. “I hope we don’t have another day like this, ever. These are 54 families that need our help and compassion and green lights. They also need us to do better.”

FRANKFORT, Ky. The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that an online poker company must pay more than $1 billion to Kentucky.
The ruling said it was for illegal gambling losses that began a decade ago.
The ruling from the state’s high court reinstated a Franklin Circuit Court judgement against PokerStars.com.
Two years ago, the state appeals court rejected the collection of the gambling losses.
Gov. Andy Beshear says the total amount is nearly $1.3 billion that would be ordered to be recovered.
KY Supreme Court restores $870m Stars Group judgement

Flutter Entertainment said it was “wholly surprised” by the Kentucky Supreme Court’s decision to reinstate a $870m judgement related to legacy activities of The Stars Group, that had been quashed by the state’s Court of Appeals in 2018.
It remains confident that it can reduce the sum owed on appeal, the operator added, after the Supreme Court resurrected the fine that was first issued in 2015 against The Stars Group, acquired by Flutter in May this year.
The reinstatement saw the court add compounding interest at a rate of 12% per annum to the sum owed.
