For the first time ever, an NFL-themed casino slots game will be available on a social casino app. It will launch before the season.

Aaron Rodgers in a Steelers jersey won’t be the only new development this NFL season. For the first time ever, an NFL-themed casino slots game will be available on a social casino app.

NFL Super Bowl Slots will be available for Week 1 of the upcoming season. The game is developed by Product Madness, a subsidiary of leading game company Aristocrat Leisure. This is the first professional football-themed title for Product Madness, which is being characterized as the social casino arm of the Aristocrat product business.

NFL Super Bowl Slots is the first free-to-play social casino slots game officially licensed by the NFL.

Mirroring the gridiron with online slots

According to a press statement from Aristocrat Leisure, NFL Super Bowl Slots is configured to place the consumer on the gridiron, at least digitally. It was crafted in collaboration with the NFL and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA). It’s being touted as an “innovative free-to-play mobile application” that “invites social casino players to play their fandom…” The slots title uses NFL trademarks, including the famed NFL shield and team logos.

In NFL Super Bowl Slots, players navigate from draft pick status to prospect to starter, and so on. Ultimately, the player can ascend to become a Hall of Famer. Features of gameplay include “Quarterback Rush” and “Daily Drills” that put the customer in the role of an NFL player. The slots title even folds actual NFL game footage into the app.

“NFL Super Bowl Slots represents a fresh take on gaming at the league that will reach new fans who can engage with their favorite teams through exciting and interactive gameplay,” the NFL’s vice president of video gaming Ed Kiang said in a statement announcing the game.

Social and sweepstakes casinos

Social casinos and sweepstakes casino apps are unique in that they foster a community that shares in triumphs and achievements.

There’s an important distinction between the two: With sweepstakes casinos, customers can play with Sweeps Coins that can be redeemed for cash or gift cards, as well as with Gold Coins that have no cash value.

An app like NFL Super Bowl Slots only has digital currency of the same type as Gold Coins.

Micah Parsons tabbed as face of NFL’s slots game

The NFLPA, NFL, and Product Madness have teamed up with Micah Parsons as a brand ambassador. Parsons, a defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys, has been named All-Pro four times. In 2021, he earned NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Parsons will lend his name and likeness to promoting the new slots title.

Project Madness has launched roughly a dozen slots games for social and sweepstakes casino apps, including Mighty Fu Casino and Big Fish Casino. Aristocrat Leisure has developed electronic gaming machines for real-world casinos, interactive games for the gambling sector, slots and casino games for online casinos, as well as free-to-play mobile gaming products.
