Total market revenue for the month amounted to $359.3m (£258.9m/€298.9m), up from $163.5m in March of last year, though the 2020 figures were impacted heavily by land-based casino closures and a lack of sports betting options due to events being cancelled – both in line with novel coronavirus (Covid-19) restrictions.
