The Copper State reached the milestone in just eight months and has cleared $500 million handle in three of the first four months of 2022 after coming up just shy in December. Arizona ranked sixth nationally in handle for the month of April behind New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. It lagged less than $77 million behind its geographical neighbor Nevada.

Despite releasing just four revenue reports for the year, Arizona currently ranks seventh nationally in handle with more than $2.2 billion worth of wagers.
