Nevada sportsbooks make history30 December 2020Nevada sportsbooks have seen some big numbers come across the desk of the Nevada Gaming Control Board over the years, but nothing as large as what happened in November. Last month, Nevada sportsbooks reported $61.8 million in revenue, breaking the previous record of $56.4 million from September 2018. Having five weekends of football, the most popular sport to bet on, helped the books hit this number as there was a record $502 million handle for football in November. Overall, the sportsbook handle in November was $609.6 million, a $50 million decline from October. By comparison, New Jersey sportsbooks recorded an all-time monthly handle record of $931.6 million in November. Overall, statewide casino gaming revenue was just under $771.2 million in November, a 17.8% decline from the same month last year and around $50 million below October 2020, a direct result of casinos being forced to operated with limited hours and capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
