Sports fans bet a record US$98.9 million at Nevada casinos on the Super Bowl.
The state Gaming Control Board said that unaudited tallies showed 183 sports books made $7.2 million on the National Football League championship game. The San Francisco 49ers started out as a 5-point favorite, but the Baltimore Ravens won, 34-31.
The previous Nevada record was set in 2006, when gamblers wagered $94.5 million.
Casinos said they lost big on proposition bets, including a long shot on whether there would be a safety.
