Mississippi sports betting handle reaches $56.2m in October
| By Robert Fletcher
Consumers in Mississippi wagered $56.2m (£47.6m/€54.8m) on sports during October, a 32.7% drop on last year but an improvement on the amount bet in September this year.
The monthly handle was some way behind the $83.5m bet during October 2021, but 30.4% higher than $43.1m in September 2022.
Lower spending year-on-year also meant revenue fell 15.4% from $9.1m last year to $7.7m, while this figure was also 12.5% lower than $8.8m in September this year.
