Another month, another
sports betting record in New Jersey.
The state's gamblers wagered
more than $931 million on sports in November, the latest in a string of monthly
records set by a rapidly growing market that’s closing in on the $1
billion-a-month mark.
It was the fourth month in
a row that New Jersey set such a record.
Atlantic City’s casinos,
the three horse tracks that offer sports betting, and the state’s robust
internet gambling industry saw nearly $289 million in revenue in November, a
figure that does not include money bet on horses.
That represented a 5.6%
decline from Nov. 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic.
