What did increase, however, is the sports betting revenue for November. Nevada saw $61.8 million in gross gaming revenue which is the best month for the Silver State since the PASPA repeal. This is up 45.8% from the $42.4 million in October, and almost double the $31 million generated in November 2019.

What carried the bulk of the betting activity in November was those betting on the NFL and betting on college football. More than $501 million was wagered on football games.

Sportsbooks took in $56 million in revenue from the football wagers alone, which means football bets accounted for over 90% of the record-breaking revenue numbers.

This gives much optimism for the sports betting market headed into the new year, as the NFL postseason and college football bowl games will surely attract a lot of betting activity. In addition, the NBA season return should also boost sports betting numbers.
