Super Bowl Sunday is upon us and this year it is about to witness even more bets placed on the live event.

The past few months have seen a downwards progression when it comes to sports wagering and the revenue of the four Upstate New York casinos have been able to generate.

Now it is time for yet another Super Bowl event, a special period for people across the US. Expectations are that the sport swaggering revenue in Upstate New York casino locations would surge, a figure that would be reflected in the monthly report the New York State Gambling Commission issues.
In the grand scale of things, the US players are expected to wager some US$6.8 billion during this yearās Super Bowl, as for some of the states this would be the second sports event allowing wagers to be placed on it. This Sunday is about to bring the first game between Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
