Super Bowl betting up, but Nevada casino profits down

Wagers on the Super Bowl increased from $82.7 million last year to $87.5 million this year, but casinos did worse than usual, according to a Nevada Gaming Control Board report cited by ProFootballTalk.

Nevada casinos made a profit of just $$724,176, or less than 1 percent of what

was waged. That made it the second worst Super Bowl of the last decade for casinos. The worst was the Giants’ upset of the Patriots in 2008, when casinos lost $2.5 million on $92 million bet.
