The New York State Gaming Commission reported Tuesday that sportsbooks claimed $108.2 million in sports wagering revenue for February, with a strong performance by the betting public creating a notable month-over-month decline in operator winnings.

It was the sixth consecutive month revenue reached nine figures in New York, but it marked the lowest amount since Empire State operators claimed $99.2 million last August. The public fared well in Super Bowl LVII wagering, limiting the house to $1.4 million kept from $100.5 million worth of bets placed on the NFL’s marquee event.

The house claimed at least $140 million in total revenue in each of the previous five months, with January’s $149.4 million the high point.
