Catawba Two Kings Casino is teaming up with NFL’s Carolina Panthers in a multiyear deal that will see the tribal casino promoted during every football game at the 75,000-capacity Bank of America Stadium.
The partnership includes the placement of some in-stadium advertisements, a scoreboard feature at home games and the opportunity for Panthers fans who are at least 21 years of age to sign up for the casino’s Lucky North Rewards player loyalty program as they enter the stadium.
It is another big collaboration involving gambling outlets for the Panthers after FanDuel became the team’s official sports betting partner last year, a deal tied up in time for North Carolina’s statewide launch of online betting in March 2024.
Where Is Catawba Two Kings Casino?
Catawba Two Kings has been operating from a temporary casino in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, approximately 35 miles west of Charlotte.
Although there has been a sharp rise in the popularity of online casinos, the land-based operation has revealed ambitious plans for a new $1 billion facility which it anticipates will be opened in phases, beginning as early as spring 2026.
Once fully up and running, the new resort will boost the casino’s present offering of 1,100 gaming machines to 4,300 slots, 100 live table games and entertainment and leisure facilities including 11 dining outlets, 11 bars and a 385-room hotel.
NFL Fans Can Sign Up For Casino Loyalty Rewards
Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority, hailed the partnership as perfect timing with the casino’s new home on the horizon.
“Catawba Two Kings Casino’s new partnership with the Carolina Panthers is a wonderful opportunity for us to share the incredible experience of attending a game at Bank of America Stadium with our top casino patrons while promoting the casino to the Panthers fanbase in Charlotte and throughout the Carolinas,” he said.
“While our temporary casino has continued to gain in popularity since opening in 2021, many more people will learn about it at Panthers home games.
“And the timing couldn’t be better as significant construction has been completed on our permanent casino resort and the partnership will still be in place when it opens.”
“We’re excited to welcome Catawba Two Kings Casino as a Proud Partner of the Carolina Panthers,” said Eric Sudol, chief revenue officer, Tepper Sports & Entertainment.
“This partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences to patrons and fans across the region and beyond.”
