“We look forward to bringing our NFL-themed slot games to casinos across Massachusetts, providing an opportunity for passionate Patriots fans to experience their favorite team in new and exciting ways. “We are ecstatic to partner with the New England Patriots, one of the most successful and legendary franchises in the NFL,” said Hector Fernandez, Aristocrat Gaming’s CEO. When it does become operational, fans at Gillette Stadium will be able to place bets using their phones but there are no current provisions for a sports book or kiosks in any Massachusetts retail location except for casinos. Sports betting was legalized last month in Massachusetts, but is still months away from launching. The Poker Room on the terrace level has 88 high-end poker tables in an exclusive atmosphere. Games range from craps and roulette to blackjack and baccarat, all at state-of-the-art tables.
“The Patriots and Gillette Stadium are excited to partner with Aristocrat Gaming and explore many new opportunities to engage with our fans,” said Murray Kohl, vice president of corporate sponsorships for Kraft Sports + Entertainment. The casino at Encore Boston Harbor is large, airy and glamorous, offering 3,000 slots, 144 table games and more in a glittering setting of 40-foot-tall ceilings. At Gillette Stadium, Aristocrat signage will be found nearly everywhere, with a press release heralding in-stadium, on the concourse and in-game branding, as well as eventually including in-game promotions and game-day activations.
