VSiN has announced a first for the sports betting information network, which will launch officially next month. During an episode of VSiN By The Books, it was revealed that, in partnership with Circa Sports, the opening of Circa Sports Kentucky at The Mint Gaming Hall will house broadcasts on VSiN, including VSiN By The Books with host Dave Ross live on site.
“We are really excited because this is historic,” said Ross on Tuesday following the announcement. “We’ve never done this before. Everything is emanated out of Las Vegas for the entirety of VSiN. Now to take this to Kentucky, we got big shoes to keep this thing running and take this thing out of state for the first time.”
Furthermore, according to Ross, the first broadcast of VSiN By The Books live from the new Kentucky studios is scheduled for next month, with the hope that it will take place before the start of the college football season. Ross will be based in Kentucky for the program, while co-host Jensen Lewis will appear for the debut episode but will continue to work from outside the studio.
Additionally, Circa Sports Kentucky announced earlier this year its expansion in the state with the debut of Kentucky’s largest retail sportsbook at The Mint Gaming Hall Kentucky Downs in Franklin.
Circa Sports CEO Derek Stevens spoke last month about the importance of the partnership with VSiN and how excited he is to have their programming broadcast from the Bluegrass State.
“When I was putting a sportsbook together, VSiN is a critical component for us,” said Stevens last month. “They have a big impact on our sportsbook in Las Vegas. Bringing VSiN here to this sportsbook here we felt was a pretty important element.”
Moreover, the new 21-and-over venue features an 80-foot-wide LED screen, a 31-foot-wide odds board, and over 5,100 square feet of action-packed space.
Finally, Bill Adee explained last month to Kentucky Downs Racing that the plan is for VSiN By The Books to broadcast every weekday live from The Mint Gaming Hall, which includes 350 radio stations around the country and simulcasts on NESN and Marquee Sports Network.
