As the race to be the Republican nominee for the state Senate district heated up in recent months, an unprecedented amount of money poured in.

Win for PA — a political action committee funded by online gambling giants including DraftKings, Fanduel, and Fanatics — has spent at least $1.5 million on ads favoring Bartolotta, according to the political ad-tracking firm AdImpact.

That's in addition to the $512,000 spent by Bartolotta's campaign.

At the same time, Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania — a group backed by Georgia-based skill games operator Pace-O-Matic — spent more than $680,000 on ads for Buchtan.
