Right as the long Memorial Day weekend is about to commence, the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) on Thursday reported its latest weekly mobile New York sports betting figures.
Looks like the New York sports bettor could use a long reset as well.
For the week ending May 21, the state's total mobile handle eclipsed $307.27 million, about an $11 million drop from the week before ($318.36M), and total mobile Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) posted at more than $18.91M, which was only half of the amount posted a week ago.
The total handle number marks the third consecutive weekly decrease since more than $374.19 million was handled for the week ending April 30. The GGR figure was the lowest since $11.99M was recorded for the week ending April 9.
