People in New Jersey wagered tens of millions of dollars on Super Bowl LIX, according to a new report released by the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
Officials say that preliminary figures from Atlantic City casinos and New Jersey equine racetracks show that betting on this year’s Super Bowl “totaled approximately $168.7 million, with a projected total sports wagering payout of $143.5 million. This resulted in a win of nearly $25.2 million for the sports wagering books.”
Officials say this is a 19% increase over last year, which was $141.6 million.
The figures include New Jersey’s 11 retail sports books and 14 sports wagering mobile applications.
