The final figure will be roughly $10 million to $15 million higher after the NYSGC releases October figures for the state’s four retail sportsbooks. The Empire State was able to crest $2 billion thanks to having five weeks of NFL action in October, which included a Week 8 clash between the New York Jets and New York Giants on Oct. 29.

The mobile handle alone means New York now has the top 14 monthly handles of the post-PASPA era nationwide.
