One sports market analyst said he was surprised that the FIFA World Cup, for which Kansas City was a host city in June and July, didn't drive more wagers.

Missouri's top gambling official expects "an uptick in bets" for the first Super Bowl since the state legalized sports betting. But the state won't likely make much in revenue from the bets.

After providing more than $100 million in free plays to lure customers, FanDuel and DraftKings, the sports books dominating the state market, paid no taxes.
