The story was much different for casino and hotel properties around the Las Vegas Strip. Those betting handle numbers also bode well for DraftKings ( DKNG), FanDuel ( OTCPK:PDYPY), and Penn Entertainment's ( PENN) ESPN Bet. 'It was three times Daytona’s numbers,' noted Caesars vice president of trading Craig Mucklow.
Caesars Sportsbook ( NASDAQ: CZR ), Station Casinos, and the Westgate SuperBook also said they beat their betting handle records for a single auto race.
The sportsbook said it took 3X the number of bets on the race than any previous auto racing contest. BetMGM ( NYSE: MGM) ( OTCPK:GMVHF) disclosed that the event was the most bet F1 event in the company's history. The Las Vegas Grand Prix last weekend was a smash hit with sportsbooks and online betting operators. Domingo Saez Romero/iStock Editorial via Getty Images
