Colorado set yet another online sports betting record in November as parlays and table tennis continued their reign in the Rockies.
According to the Colorado Division of Gaming, the state took in just over $231 million in handle with both brick-and-mortar and online sports betting combined, up 9.7% from October’s then-record $120 million.
“The positive response means good things to come for the beneficiaries,” Dan Hartman, director of the Colorado Division of Gaming, said in a statement Thursday.
The Division of Gaming reported the Centennial State took in $793,820 in tax revenue in November, down slightly from the $842,700 collected in October.
Five Denver Broncos games, including the notorious line-busting no-quarterback effort vs. the Saints on Nov. 29 led the way at the window. The Colorado Buffalos’ surprise emergence into the AP top 25 also contributed to more than $88 million in combined NFL and NCAA football action last month.
