In a return to St. Johns County, bestbet plans to build a poker room and simulcast wagering facility near St. Augustine.
WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record reported that St. Johns County issued a building permit July 15 for bestbet to construct a 40,673-square-foot facility at 800 Marketplace Drive in St. Johns County.
It is off Florida 207 and Interstate 95 near the former St. Augustine Flea Market.
Bestbet, which operates gaming venues in Jacksonville and Orange Park, operated a poker room and greyhound track along Race Track Road until 2012. It sold that 100-acre site in May to Gatlin Development Co. for $16.5 million.
