WWE & Fanatics Betting and Gaming to produce WWE-themed online casino games in US
WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, and Fanatics Betting and Gaming have announced an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement for Fanatics Betting and Gaming to produce and distribute WWE-themed online casino games in the United States.
Under the terms of this agreement, Fanatics Betting and Gaming will have a license to produce WWE-themed online casino games exclusively for Fanatics Casino, which is available on iOS, Android and web in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The officially licensed WWE online casino games will launch at the end of July in time for SummerSlam, which takes place across two nights on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
“We are excited to expand our relationship with WWE to now include an exclusive portfolio of WWE-themed online casino games,” said Ari Borod, Chief Business Officer at Fanatics Betting and Gaming. “This is a natural extension of the WWE-Fanatics partnership which already includes global e-commerce, licensed merchandise, memorabilia, as well as producing and distributing a growing lineup of digital shows.”
Fanatics Game Studios has produced several of the most popular games on Fanatics Casino and will produce the WWE-themed online casino games in partnership with Boom Entertainment and Games Global. The WWE-themed online casino games will be available at the end of July and will include WWE Blackjack (Boom Entertainment), Raw Multiplier Melee (Boom Entertainment), SmackDown Big Money Entrance! (Boom entertainment) WWE Bonus Rumble Gold Blitz (Games Global) and WWE Clash of the Wilds (Games Global).
In August to celebrate SummerSlam in New Jersey, the WWE-branded takeover of Fanatics Casino will include exclusive sign up offers from Fanatics and the popular Spin to Win* game will get a very special WWE makeover.
