Locally, Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg and Belterra Casino Resort in Switzerland County set personal bests for sports bet wagers.

Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg handled just over $16 million in sports bets, making $2.259 million in revenue.

Gamblers wagered $13.8 million at Belterra Casino Resort in Switzerland County last month, up from $9.9 million in August. Belterra’s sports betting revenue stood at $1.4 million for the month of September.
