LAS VEGAS, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tennessee’s online sportsbooks continued to gain momentum, reaching $180 million in wagers in December to close 2020 with the best two-month debut in U.S. sports betting history. An untested market before launching in November, Tennessee is off to the kind of start that almost no one could have predicted, according to analysts from PlayTenn, which offers news and analysis of the fledgling Tennessee gaming market.

«Tennessee launched with what many thought were a lot of question marks, but it is proving to be The Little Engine that Could,» said Jessica Welman, analyst for PlayTenn.com. «It seemed operators were slow to get to the state, many were concerned the 10% hold mandate would tamp down demand, and there were questions on whether or not the Tennessee Education Lottery was up to the task of regulating the industry. Those concerns seem like a distant memory now as Tennessee has catapulted itself into becoming a major player in the U.S. industry in just two months.»

In a December that featured four NFL Sundays, down from five in November, bettors placed $180.9 million in wagers, according to official data released Tuesday evening by The Tennessee Education Lottery. That topped November’s $131.4 million handle by 37.6%. December’s wagers produced a «win» of $13.9 million for the operators, up from $13.2 million in November. And the month’s win injected $3.1 million into state coffers.

Through the market’s first two months, Tennessee has:

• Generated $312.3 million in bets, by far the most of any legal sports betting jurisdiction in U.S. history. The next closest was Indiana, which produced $126.9 million.
• Shattered the records for the best first month and the best second month. Indiana held both records, hitting $35.2 million in September 2019 before reaching $91.7 million in October 2019. 
• Set a new standard for operator revenue with $27.1 million. Indiana generated $20.1 million in its first two months.

Tennessee’s hot start can be attributed to several major factors. First, the state launched its sports betting industry with online sports betting. Secondly, with no retail component in the state, there was no in-person registration requirement for online sports betting, which can artificially depress a market. None of Tennessee’s seven neighboring states offered online sports betting during the Volunteer State’s first two months, and only two, Arkansas and Mississippi, are home to any retail betting. And the Tennessee Titans’ playoff run spurred local interest.

«Tennessee launched under near-perfect conditions and that can be seen in the early results,» said Dustin Gouker, analyst for PlayTenn.com. «Even with added competition from Virginia now going live, Tennessee’s start has established the state as a significant player in the U.S. And I don’t see anything that will stop the market’s momentum in the short-term.»

Tennessee is now the nation’s seventh-largest sports betting market with plenty of growth still to come.

Only four sportsbooks are in operation so far. But more are expected soon. That includes the imminent launch of TwinSpires as well as WynnBET and William Hill.

«Having FanDuel and DraftKings, the nation’s two largest operators, in place at launch has helped fuel Tennessee’s surge,» Welman said. «But more high-quality operators will help mature the market. As good as Tennessee’s start has been, the best days are still to come.»

DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Now more than ever, women are flexing their muscle as we work to navigate through challenging times. From essential workers to teachers, nurses, rising political leaders and poets, women are demonstrating the kind of strength it takes to keep pushing forward – both in the workplace and at home. Ford is paying tribute to all of the formidable women leading the way with the launch of the Mustang Mach-E #ShowSomeMuscle social media challenge. #ShowSomeMuscle encourages everyday heroes to share their personal stories of perseverance, ingenuity, compassion, creativity and more.

American ballet dancer Misty Copeland, professional basketball player Gabby Williams and Ayana Lage, an advocate for social justice, helped kick off the challenge earlier this week. These talented, accomplished women are sharing their personal stories of unique strength and triumph, and nominating the inspirational women in their own lives to also #ShowSomeMuscle.

«After 20 years of performing, the loss of live shows and the purpose that gave me has taken its toll,» said Copeland. «But I have been inspired by and have witnessed real courage and resilience, and seen strength in vulnerability as we remain hopeful of an end to the pandemic. That’s why I’m honored to be among the first voices to share my story in the Mustang Mach-E #ShowSomeMuscle challenge and to celebrate the women who continue to inspire me.»

Through #ShowSomeMuscle, Ford is providing a platform – and an iconic symbol – to spotlight all of the inspirational women who are redefining what real muscle looks like.

«With Mustang Mach-E, Ford is redefining the conventional idea of a muscle car,» said Emma Bergg, Ford global electric vehicle communications manager. «Through this challenge, we’re highlighting that muscle is not only physical form and brute strength – it encompasses innovation, empathy, creativity, compassion and resilience.»

To illustrate the spirit of the challenge, Ford is working with Detroit-bred fine artist and muralist Sydney James to create custom artwork for a limited-edition #ShowSomeMuscle T-shirt.

«My body of work is about strong women,» said James. «My inspiration for the Madonna of Muscle art featured on this shirt is a leader, entrepreneur and hustler in the Detroit community – one whose image exudes so much more than physical strength.»

Highlights of the accomplishments of these talented heroes sharing their stories include:

Misty Copeland: With 20 years of professional ballet under her belt, Copeland made history by becoming the first African American woman to be a principal dancer at one of the nation’s most prestigious dance companies. She is the author of three bestselling books, Life In Motion, Ballerina Body, and Bunheads.

Gabby Williams: Professional basketball player, Williams brings dominating athleticism and dynamic skill to the court. With a flair for music and fashion and a mind for activism, Williams is a power forward, was the No. 4 draft pick, and plays in Hungary.

Ayana Lage: Tampa-based blog curator Lage has made a name for herself as an outspoken advocate for social justice. As a new mother, she has been open with her followers about postpartum mental health.

PUERTO RICO and MASHANTUCKET, Conn. and NEW YORK and MIAMI, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and LionGrove today announced the formation of a partnership to reopen the historic and iconic El San Juan Casino as the Foxwoods El San Juan Casino. In addition to redeveloping the casino, the two partners are also thrilled to reopen the renowned Tropicoro entertainment venue, welcoming back performers, artists, live entertainment and events once again to its stage.

Having originally debuted in the 1960s, the El San Juan became one of the most luxurious and sought after casino destinations in the world, defined by its classic European style, iconic crystal chandeliers and hand-carved, mahogany-paneled walls. Over the years, the Tropicoro stage drew stars such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Martin, Liza Minnelli, Rita Moreno, Paul Anka and many more.
