And perhaps due to local fans cashing in on the Chiefs' success on Feb. 12 against the Eagles, the state’s sports betting revenue dropped nearly 100% in February to $35,916, down from nearly $6 million in January.
Kansas betting apps contributed only $1,134 in state taxes for the month.
According to a mid February Super Bowl betting report from the Kansas Lottery, state fans wagered $24.7 million on the big game and cashed winning tickets worth $39.2 million.
