Sportsbooks also lost big on football, thanks to winning tickets that cashed in June thanks to parlays associated with hockey or basketball.

Nevada casinos typically win between 4 to 6% through sports each month. The 1.98% hold in June is the lowest figure since Nov. 2021, when the hold percentage dipped to just 1.5%.
