WWE is stepping further into the gaming world as WrestleMania season heats up, announcing a brand-new online casino game tied directly to its biggest event of the year.
WWE, in partnership with White Hat Studios and Fanatics Casino, has launched WrestleMania: Road to Gold, a new officially branded online slot game that is now available exclusively through Fanatics Casino in the United States.
The game features 20 WWE Superstars and launches just weeks before WrestleMania 42, which takes place April 18–19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The release is designed to capitalize on the massive attention surrounding WWE’s biggest annual event while giving fans another way to engage with the brand.
According to the official announcement, WrestleMania: Road to Gold takes players on a progression-style journey through several of WWE’s biggest Premium Live Events before culminating in a WrestleMania showdown. The game includes mechanics inspired by SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Money in the Bank.
White Hat Studios says the goal was to bring WWE’s legacy and personalities into the casino gaming world in an immersive way.
Armen Tatarevic, Vice President of Gaming at White Hat Studios, explained that the collaboration aimed to capture the spirit of WWE’s long-standing entertainment history while building an experience fans would recognize.
“WWE is an iconic brand steeped in entertainment history, and the aim was to collaborate closely to channel that legacy into WrestleMania: Road to Gold. From superstar athletes to headline events, there are numerous touchpoints that fans will enjoy.”
Fanatics also emphasized the importance of WWE’s global appeal when introducing the new casino title. Conor Grant, President of Casino at Fanatics Betting and Gaming, said the company believes the energy of the wrestling brand translates naturally into the gaming space.
“WWE is a worldwide entertainment phenomenon, and the energy of the brand has been captured perfectly in WrestleMania: Road to Gold.”
The new title adds to a growing lineup of WWE-themed casino games already available on Fanatics Casino, including WWE Blackjack, Raw Multiplier Melee, SmackDown Big Money Entrance, WWE Bonus Rumble Gold Blitz, and WWE Clash of the Wilds.
Fanatics Casino currently operates in several regulated U.S. iCasino markets including Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The platform is available on iOS, Android, and web browsers as the company continues expanding its online casino footprint.
With WrestleMania 42 returning to Las Vegas, the launch of WrestleMania: Road to Gold ties WWE’s biggest event directly into the rapidly growing online casino market.
