The Eagles won big in the Super Bowl, and so did Nevada Sportsbooks.
The state’s 186 books won a record $ 22.1 million on Eagles 40-22 Bleaching of Chiefs in Sunday’s NFL title game in New Orleans, according to figures released Tuesday by Gaming Control Board.
The Super Bowl victory surpassed the state’s previous record of $ 19.7 million set in 2014, when the Seahawks whipped Broncos 43-8. The hold percentage, or profit percentage, at 14.6 percent was the highest since books that held 16.4 percent of the Super Bowl 2014 venture.
The game handle, or the amount of money that bet on the game, was $ 151.6 million. That number fell dramatically from last year’s state record of $ 185.6 million that invested in the first Super Bowl played in Las Vegas.
“Nothing can really compare to the game here last year,” Red Rock Resort Sportsbook Director Chuck Esposito said. “It’s an anomaly when it’s in your garden. We have seen it with other big events here. Everything that is here, the handle is crazy. “
It was the state’s lowest Super Bowl handle since 2021, when $ 136.1 million invested in Buccaneer’s 31-9 blow-out of the managers. The handle was lower than $ 153.2 million set on Chief’s 38-35 victory over the Eagles in the Super Bowl 2023.
No investments of 1 million were reported at Sunday’s game, while last year’s Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium drew eight $ 1 million sentences across the country, including five placed in Las Vegas.
“The handle was not as robust as last year. Of course, it can be attributed to the event here and all high rolls are here for the game, ”said MGM Resorts -Manager for the Lamarr Mitchell trade. “But when I entered the game, our best case was The Eagles Win directly and go over. So it was a really, really good win for the house. “
Philadelphia won as a 1-point sub-dog and the total flew over 48½.
Betmgm in Nevada took the four largest bets reported on the game, including $ 750,000 each on Chiefs on Money Line (-120) and against the spread (-1½), as well as bets on Kansas City at $ 345,000 and $ 326,000. The book also took several six -digit investments in Wonders.
“Although the public usually is investing in this game,” said Mitchell, “all our big bets were on.”
Betmgm also had a historical victory on the game all over the country.
“Super Bowl (59) was the single largest gaming event in Betmgm’s history – it took the most bets and was one of the best individual gaming results in corporate history,” said Betmgm Senior Trading Manager Christian Cipollini. “Super Bowl Bettors paid on Eagles Money Line and Jalen hurts Super Bowl MVP. But both defenses that slowed Saquon Barkley and Travis Kelce netted a good result for us. “
