After the monstrous first week of the NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament, March Madness turned into a comparative March Calmness for the eight live NY sportsbooks in the Empire State.
For the week of March 28-April 3, New York bettors wagered $312.13 million in total mobile handle, a little more than $15.71 million less than the previous week, according to official figures released by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) on Friday.
The state’s weekly total handle was the lowest for a complete week since mobile launched Jan. 8 and the lowest recorded since the first two days of official figures reporting by the NYSGC among the Empire State’s initial four live mobile operators for Jan. 8-9 ($171,298,257). That, of course, was only for two days rather than a week. But a manic and impressive two days it was for just four operators.
Since the opening weekend of March Madness (March 17-20), the state’s total handle has decreased by $115.84 million.
The positive news: Total Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) for the state posted at
$15,181,675, an uptick of $1.25 million from the week before ($13.93 million) and ending a two-week decrease streak.
