Super Bowl in Arizona will be 1st ever in a state with legal sports betting

When the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles meet in the Super Bowl in a couple of weeks, it’ll be the fourth time Arizona has hosted the NFL’s championship game. But it’ll be the first time since the state legalized sports betting.

In fact, the game will be the first Super Bowl ever played in a state that allows wagers on the game.

To find out about the significance of that milestone, The Show is by Chris Grove, partner emeritus at Eilers and Krejcik Gaming, a consultancy focused on the U.S. gambling and sports betting industries.
