Caesars Palace Online Casino and NHL Team Up to Launch League-Branded Games

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here and Caesars Palace Online Casino is offering new National Hockey League (NHL) themed titles. 

These games are available in three states, including New Jersey, and one of them includes a live dealer blackjack game. When you open the game, you’ll see the traditional NHL shield icon and a blue rink-like table made to feel like you’re playing on ice. 

The game Caesars NHL Blackjack was created by Evolution Gaming Group. They’re best known for their live dealer games and have even won several awards for their prowess in the space. They’re partnered with Caesars Palace Digital and oversee the iGaming strategy at the online casino. 

Partnership Goes Beyond Slot Games

Last month, Caesars Entertainment, which oversees Caesars Palace Online Casino New Jersey, renewed its partnership with the NHL. 

In addition to the NHL-branded games, there are a plethora of live dealer games, including roulette, blackjack, craps, Texas Hold’em, baccarat, and more on desktop and mobile apps. 

“Customizing our online casino offering to provide experiences true to the Caesars brand remains a key area of focus for us,” said Caesars Digital SVP & Chief iGaming Officer Matt Sunderland. “The launch of Caesars NHL Blackjack is an exciting moment that enhances our ability to provide our players with an eye-catching game custom to their interests. Adding the NHL Shield to our live dealer content is only the beginning as we continue to expand our partnership with the League to launch more NHL-branded iCasino games for our online casino platforms.”

In addition to these branded games, Caesars Sportsbook is involved with the loyalty program advertised on NHL broadcasts. 

Live dealer games aim to create as close to an in-person retail casino experience from the comfort of your home or on your mobile device. There aren’t many states where they’re legal, but Evolution, as mentioned, is the leader in the space. 

“We’re proud to strengthen our collaboration with Caesars Digital by introducing NHL-branded tables to their Live Dealer offering. As their Live Dealer provider, Evolution is committed to delivering the best gaming experiences possible for their players. This partnership highlights our commitment to innovation and ensures that Caesars players have access to the most engaging and immersive games available,” said Evolution CEO for North America, Jacob Claesson.

This deal also comes after BetMGM reached a similar agreement with the NHL last year for the New Jersey online casino market. Now, Caesars has an agreement with the top professional hockey league in the world.
