Nevada sportsbooks saw a decline in their Super Bowl winnings compared to the previous year, earning nearly $9.9 million during the Seahawks' win over the Patriots. The total amount wagered in the state was also down, reaching a 10-year low of just over $133 million. Experts attribute the drop to the rise of online sports betting across the U.S. and the lack of star power in this year's matchup.

Why it matters

Nevada has long been the epicenter of sports betting in the United States, and the Super Bowl is one of the biggest events for the state's sportsbooks. The decline in winnings and total wagers highlights the changing landscape of the industry as more states legalize and regulate sports betting, providing bettors with more options beyond Nevada.

The details

The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported that sportsbooks in the state won nearly $9.9 million on the Super Bowl, down from the over $22 million they earned the previous year. The total amount wagered in Nevada for the big game was just over $133 million, a 10-year low for the state. Experts attribute the decline to the rise of online sportsbooks across the U.S. and the lack of star power in this year's matchup between the Seahawks and Patriots.

• The Super Bowl was played on Sunday, February 10, 2026.
• Last year's Super Bowl, between the Eagles and Chiefs, saw over $151 million wagered in Nevada.

What they’re saying

What’s next

The Nevada Gaming Control Board will likely continue to monitor the state's sports betting industry and look for ways to attract more wagers, especially for marquee events like the Super Bowl.
