Figures released Tuesday by state regulators show the gambling outlets handled nearly $743 million worth of sports bets in February. That's down from more than $996 million in January.
But February’s sports betting numbers were still about $200 million higher than they were in February 2020.
Internet gambling was up over 80% from a year ago.
The combination helped the casinos and tracks barely exceed the total amount they took in last February.
