The Super Bowl thriller between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas set betting records at Nevada sportsbooks.
More than $185.6 million was bet on Super Bowl LVIII with the state's sportsbooks, the most ever, according to unaudited figures released Tuesday.
The amount wagered eclipsed the previous high on the Super Bowl in 2022 by nearly $6 million. The state's 182 sportsbooks squeaked out a $6.8 million win on the game, according to the figures, as bettors held their own on a second straight Super Bowl, the first held in Las Vegas.
Nevada sportsbooks won approximately $4.4 million on last year's Super Bowl. They had averaged a $13.2 million win on the previous four Super Bowls.
