The sports betting verdict from this year’s NFL Super Bowl has begun to emerge, with reports coming in from regulators across the US.
The Kansas City Chiefs won their third title in five years on Sunday, beating the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas, which hosted the event for the first time.
As reported by ABC News, Nevada’s 182 sportsbooks reported US$185.6m in sports betting handle on the event, breaking the state’s record set in 2022.
In Pennsylvania, though, the state’s Gaming Control Board said sports betting handle across retail and online on the event reached $71.6m, a 15 per cent decrease on last year.
What’s more, revenue is expected to decline in the Keystone State from $29.7m in 2022 to $11.1m this year.
Nevertheless, sports betting on the Super Bowl in New Jersey climbed by 30 per cent year-on-year to a preliminary figure of $141.6m, rising from $109.3m in 2022.
The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement said this resulted in a win of nearly $8.5m for sportsbooks across the Garden State.
