This total was also the highest seen in the state for mobile sports betting since the market first went live in January 2022, with the previous high recorded in January 2024 when GGR was $211.5 million .
The amount was the second highest ever seen in the state, at $2.27 billion, which is lower than October’s record figure of $2.32 billion, but 7.4% higher than November 2023.
FanDuel led the way when analyzing individual operators when it came to both values, at $921.2 million, and GGR, at $102.6 million.
Commercial casino
Meanwhile, for the Empire State’s four commercial casinos, total GGR reached $56.9 million during the month of November. This represents a 5.1% year-over-year increase, with Rivers Casino and Resort bringing in the highest total of $17.8 million.
So, as expected, most of the total GGR came from slots and electronic gaming terminals, which brought in $40.3 million. Table games GGR was valued at just under US$15 million and poker tables were valued at US$954,211. Sports betting GGR, in turn, was US$639,773.
