Aristocrat selects Inspired for virtual sports

Aristocrat Gaming has chosen Inspired Entertainment as its partner to bring a new virtual sports experience to its multi-year, global licensing agreement with the NFL.

The NFL-themed virtual sports simulations will provide fans the ability to wager on teams as they go head-to-head in fast-paced, ultra-realistic simulated match-ups.

Users will see many of the same wagering options as a standard sportsbook including money line bets, over/under total score and total touchdowns.

The NFL-themed virtual sports simulations will include a variety of NFL imagery including the iconic NFL shield, all 32 team logos, heritage team marks, AFC and NFC Conference logos, and the Super Bowl logo.

The NFL is the premier sports and entertainment brand that brings people together socially and emotionally like no other. With over 500 million fans around the world, the NFL has global appeal, hosting regular season matches in England, Germany and Mexico.

“Through Inspired, this NFL licence expansion into virtual sports presents a ground-breaking entertainment option that’s never been done before,” said Hector Fernandez, Aristocrat Gaming CEO.

“As part of our overall NFL strategy, we are thrilled to tap into the global appeal the NFL offers to current and new fans and casino, sports betting and lottery players.”

“We are delighted to work with the NFL and Aristocrat Gaming on this historic new simulated gaming experience to bring fans a unique way to connect with the game, even in the off-season,” said Brooks Pierce, Inspired’s president and CEO.

“We look forward to launching this partnership and reaching millions of NFL fans with exciting entertainment options both online and in retail.”
