Unibet Launches Sports-Themed Online Games

Online gaming platform supplier Unibet has launched the first professional sports-themed casino games ever in the U.S. In a unique collaboration with Philadelphia Eagles and Pala Interactive, Unibet is launching “Eagles Blackjack” and the “The Eagles Online Slot” in Pennsylvania.

Shortly after expanding the partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles to both the casino and sportsbook areas, Unibet, a part of Kindred Group, is launching the Eagles-themed game on the Unibet Betting & Casino mobile app and pa.unibet.com for customers in Pennsylvania.

In addition, Unibet will be launching the exclusive Eagles online slot game later this year, also in Pennsylvania.

“The partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles is truly special, and this is a great testimony of how two perfectly aligned organizations can deliver fantastic innovative products for their fans and customers,” said Manuel Stan, senior vice president of Kindred US. “I am extremely proud of the work done by both teams to release the first-ever professional themed sports casino game in the United States, and this is just the beginning.”

“We are excited to collaborate with a forward-thinking partner like Unibet, whose innovation continues to create new and exciting online opportunities for our fans,” said Catherine Carlson, senior vice president, revenue and strategy for the Philadelphia Eagles. “As the online gaming industry continues to emerge and expand in the marketplace, our partnership with Unibet takes us to a whole new level and allows us to be on the forefront of industry firsts, such as being featured in the country’s first professional sports-themed casino game.”
