Connecticut’s online gambling and sports betting industry got started in mid-October, and we now know how the month faired. After starting on October 12, the online services generated around $1.7 million through October 31. This is a nice chunk of change for the new industry, and it is estimated to only grow from here.

The majority of the revenues were generated from online casino gambling provided by the Mohegan tribe and the Mashantucket Pequot tribe. Services created around $1.2 million of the total. The remaining $513,000 came from sports betting operations via the tribes and the state Lottery.
