It was a tremendous year for football, and we are looking forward to see what’s in store for next season’s contests.” The seven-figure winners for the two contests are: - Circa Survivor:
The winners of Circa Survivor each lasted 20 legs of the football season, including Thanksgiving and Christmas day. This entailed choosing one different team to win straight up each week, but the player could not pick the same team twice for the duration of the season. The five winners ended up going 20-0-0, which was a two-game increase from last year’s contest. Circa Million III During Circa Million III, each player made five professional football picks against the spread each week. One point was awarded for each correct selection and one-half point for each push. A collective $4 million in payouts were awarded, including a $100,000 booby prize for last place in the full season. At a special presentation and cocktail reception at The D Las Vegas on 14 January, the contest winners were presented with checks from Stevens and the Circa Sports team. Since its 2019 launch, Circa Sports has become known for a leadership team consisting of the industry’s top oddsmakers, and a menu featuring some of the best odds in the country. The brand has seen rapid growth since its first location at Golden Gate Hotel & Casino. Shortly after, it opened at sister property the D Las Vegas, and then launched its flagship location as the world’s largest sportsbook inside Circa Resort & Casino. This was quickly followed by Southern Nevada satellite books at Tuscany Suites and Casino in Las Vegas and The Pass at Water Street in Henderson. Additionally, Circa Sports has expanded in the country with operations in Colorado and Iowa. Details for the 2022-2023 football contests will be announced this summer.
