The second month of the year saw a sizable decline in Arizona sports betting revenues, with a handle of $491.6 million and $6.8 million in gross wagering receipts.

The former represents a 12.8% decrease from January’s record-breaking handle of $563.695 million, while February’s revenue figure decreased by more than 60% from January’s total of $19.622 million.

Ted Vogt, the Arizona Department of Gaming’s director, said in a department press release that February’s totals, while lower than January’s, still show how strong the market is.

“Event wagering levels continue to indicate a strong market in Arizona,” Vogt said in the press release. “While there was a small decline in wagering activity, the state maintained a strong national presence in a traditionally slower month of sports wagering.”
