Nevada Rebounds, Other States Thrive On Super Bowl Sunday

Nevada sportsbooks bounced back this year with their second-highest Super Bowl betting total ever, reporting a 12.1 percent gross win margin on wagers approaching $154.7m.

The Super Bowl handle for Nevada sportsbooks last year was about $145.9m, a dip from the record year of 2018 when the total reached almost $158.6m.

The record was set just three months before May 14, 2018 when the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated Nevada’s almost sports-betting monopoly by ruling other states could legalize and regulate sports gambling.
