No matter the outcome of the game, the bookies will win big on Super Bowl Sunday.

According to the American Gaming Association, about 3 million more Americans will plunk some money down on The Big Game as compared to last year.

All said, that figure adds up to $6.8 billion collectively in wagers on the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers matchup in Miami.

The AGA said Tuesday morning that 4 million will place bets in person while another 5 million will bet online.
