According to a report from the state, Arkansas casinos saw more revenue last month, while the totals for sports betting fell.
The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration released the statistics as part of its February sports betting and casino revenue report. Casino handle was $633,337,603, up 5.6 percent from January. The casinos’ net win for the month was up 9 percent.
The total sports betting handle in Arkansas in February was $29,532,463, down 10.4 percent from the prior month. Net revenue for the month fell 40.4 percent compared to January, but that drop was common across the country, according to pundits.
“After last month’s record-breaking numbers, many were likely expecting February to be another blowout for the sportsbooks, especially coming on the heels of Super Bowl 57, one of the most lucrative sporting events of the year,” said BetArkansas.com’s Dru James.
