The Super Bowl didn’t go the way the Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to to go. And it didn’t go all that well for casinos across the state of Nevada either.
Sports books in Nevada hung on to win just over $724,000 from Super Bowl bets despite heavy gambling on the Green Bay Packers and lots of scoring.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board said Tuesday that $87.5 million were wagered on the NFL’s championship game in 183 sports books across the state.
Of those bets, casinos kept less than 1 percent
The last time the books won huge was the Ravens vs Giants Superbowl. The entire world took the under in that game. Two back to back kickoff returns in the 2nd half doomed everyone.
