The distribution marks the culmination of years of work between Aristocrat and the National Football League (NFL).

Aristocrat Gaming, a subsidiary of Aristocrat Leisure, has started to distribute its NFL Super Bowl Jackpots™ to casino floors across America.

The slot machines will feature symbols such as NFL jerseys, logos, beer, pizza and footballs, with the chance for players to customise the experience with different teams.

A total of 32 NFL clubs will be available on the machines, which will change the colour and style of jerseys and logos of the symbols.

Planned to coincide with the start of the NFL season on 7 September, the public will be able to access the slot machines as soon as the respective casinos install them.

The 104th NFL season will see Super Bowl LVII champion Kansas City try to defend its title through the regular season, until the Super Bowl LVIII on 11 February.

Hector Fernandez, Aristocrat Gaming CEO, said: “After nearly two years of collaboration with the NFL and NFL Players Association, we finally get to see these game-changing machines in action.

“A tremendous thank you to our teams around the world for their collective brilliance to make today possible.”

The multi-year agreement between Aristocrat Gaming and the NFL was originally signed in 2021.

In the initial distribution, a total of 27 venues across Nevada, California, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Arizona will have the machines delivered to them.

Aristocrat expects to expand this distribution to include additional venues and states in the future.

On the other side of the business, Genius Sports extended its partnership with the NFL for a further five years to distribute live data to partnered operators.
