Sports books are being credited with the double-digit increase in revenues at Nevada casinos in August.

In particular, the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight and the return of NFL are being touted for the $989.5 million win, an increase of 14.9 percent from 2016.

Stateline casinos were up 7.02 percent at $25.576 million, while North Shore casinos posted gains of 10.39 percent at nearly $3.2 million.

Statewide, the sports gaming win hit a record at $19.8 million. Baseball helped with that figure as well.
