New Jersey took in more sports bets than Nevada last month, per AP.

By the numbers: New Jersey saw $318.9 million worth of bets; Nevada took in $317.4 million. "From those bets, New Jersey casinos and racetracks made $15.5 million in revenue, compared to $11.6 million in Nevada," per AP.

Why it matters: New Jersey won a Supreme Court case last year that cleared the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting.

And the Garden State jumped into the market with both feet, with the goal of dethroning Nevada as the sports betting capital of America.
