Summary
Super Bowl 57 was the first one to be played in a state where sports gambling is legal, and early data shows there was a lot of enthusiasm for betting on the big game. FanDuel expected to handle more than 17 million Super Bowl bets, and MGM Resorts set a new company record for Nevada with the highest Super Bowl handle in history. One bettor put $1.68 million on the Chiefs and won $2.68 million, and the American Gaming Association projected that a record 50.4 million Americans would wager $16 billion on the game.
