00:02 - We've got some breaking news regarding MGM.
00:06 Tell us what's going on here.
00:07 - Yeah, so, you know, first off,
00:10 I wanna wish Craig Nish a easy fast here.
00:12 'Cause he's not here today, but yeah, just in MGM.
00:17 A new sports book opening up.
00:20 It was at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati,
00:22 now moving to the banks, this section of downtown
00:25 near the riverfront, the Great American Ballpark.
00:27 Sports book's probably best known for Burt Neff
00:30 allegedly placing that $100,000 bet,
00:32 or attempting to place that $100,000 bet
00:34 on the Alabama LSU game, which led to Alabama coach
00:37 Brad Bohannon being fired because of their communications.
00:40 It's a sports book, besides that incident
00:42 really didn't get much traffic in the ballpark.
00:45 Retail sports books, obviously not the way
00:47 a lot of people like to bet.
00:48 The majority of people over probably 90%
00:50 like to bet online through their phone,
00:51 which is way easier.
00:52 But, you know, when you're going to a game,
00:53 you like that camaraderie maybe with your friends
00:55 and getting that ticket.
00:56 So yeah, this sports book is moving to a new home.
00:58 We'll see if the numbers go up
01:00 'cause that Great American Ballpark MGM sports book
01:03 was not doing well.
01:04 So we'll see what happens there.
01:05 But yeah, some exciting news.
01:07 If you like to bet retail in Cincinnati,
01:09 you have that opportunity now at a new location downtown.
