A total of $179.8 million was wagered across Nevada's 179
sportsbooks, up 32% from the $136.1 million wagered on last
year's Super Bowl and 13% above the previous record of $158.6
million set in 2018, according to unaudited figures.
Nevada sportsbooks kept a combined $15.4 million from Super Bowl
bets for a hold percentage of 8.6% compared with last year when
they kept $12.5 million, or 9.2% of the bets.
The win total is the third highest on record since the Nevada
Gaming Control Board started tracking such wagers in 1990,
trailing only the $19.7 million total set in 2014 and $18.8
million set two years ago.
