The eagerly awaited game, which took place on February 11, 2024, saw betting totals soar to unprecedented heights, reflecting the growing enthusiasm and participation in sports betting across New Jersey.
According to the preliminary data, the combined wagering efforts of Atlantic City casinos and New Jersey’s equine racetracks culminated in an impressive total of approximately $141.6 million.
This figure not only surpasses last year’s bets but also sets a new record for the state, showcasing a remarkable 30% increase from the 2023 Super Bowl’s $109.3 million wagering total.
The substantial betting pool resulted in a projected total sports wagering payout of $133.1 million, leaving the NJ sportsbooks with a lucrative win of nearly $8.5 million.
This financial boon underscores the vitality and robust growth of New Jersey’s betting landscape, further cementing its position as a leading hub for sports wagering in the United States.
The surge in betting activity can be attributed to the extensive network of New Jersey’s retail sportsbooks and sports wagering mobile applications, which have collectively broadened access and convenience for bettors across the state.
This digital expansion, coupled with the excitement of Super Bowl LVIII, has resonated with the betting community, driving participation to new heights.
As the state revels in this year’s success, the focus now turns to sustaining this growth trajectory and exploring new opportunities to innovate and enhance the sports betting experience for New Jersey residents and visitors alike.
