Fanatics announced a partnership with WWE that will allow the operator to produce WWE-themed slots in New Jersey at the end of the month.

The launch coincides with WWE’s much anticipated SummerSlam event, which will be held at MetLife Stadium on Aug. 2 and 3.

New Jersey online casino players will get the chance to take on WWE slots before enjoying top-notch wrestling at SummerSlam.

Five new WWE slots are on the way

Fanatics Casino and WWE agreed to a multi-year licensing deal. With that comes five new WWE-themed games that will go live at the end of July.

Boom Entertainment is producing the first three on the list, and Games Global is manufacturing the other two. The games are:

  • WWE Blackjack
  • Raw Multiplier Melee
  • SmackDown Big Money Entrance!
  • WWE Bonus Rumble Gold Blitz
  • WWE Clash of the Wilds

Ari Borod, CBO at Fanatics Betting and Gaming, spoke about the importance of partnering with a brand as prestigious as WWE.

“We are excited to expand our relationship with WWE to now include an exclusive portfolio of WWE-themed online casino games.

“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.”

Exclusive sign-up offers to celebrate SummerSlam

SummerSlam is WWE’s biggest event of the year, and Fanatics plans to capitalize.

Fanatics Casino is expected to be WWE-centric prior to SummerSlam. It plans to offer new casino players exclusive sign-up offers and the popular Spin to Win game.

Fanatics offers more than 250 slots in New Jersey, along with table games and live dealer. The operator also has progressive slots, in which players can win big prizes.

Fanatics has been ascending as of late. In May, it produced $6.2 million in revenue, which was ninth among nearly 30 operators.

Launching five new WWE slots is only going to increase Fanatics’ popularity in the Garden State.
