Football is a team sport, and the Carolina Panthers now have a new teammate.
The Catawba Two Kings Casino is teaming up with the Panthers football team. This partnership will bring the casino closer to fans of the Charlotte NFL team.
“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,” said Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority.
As part of this partnership, Catawba Two Kings Casino will have a strong presence inside Bank of America Stadium.
Fans attending the Panthers’ home games will notice in-stadium advertisements, including a special scoreboard feature showcasing the casino. There will also be activities at the stadium entrance, making it easy for fans to enroll in the casino’s Lucky North Rewards player loyalty program.
Adults aged 21 and older will have the opportunity to participate in these in-stadium features, which include complimentary merchandise and slot play.
The casino will also host select patrons for games in a 20-person luxury suite and seats in the lower level.
20 NFL teams have official partnerships with casinos or casino-related brands. These partnerships range from official casino sponsors to gaming and sportsbook partners affiliated with casinos. Notable examples include:
Additionally, many teams have sports betting partners that are either sportsbooks or casino-affiliated online gaming companies such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and WynnBet.
The full Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort is slated to open in March 2026.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Catawba Two Kings Casino as a Proud Partner of the Carolina Panthers,” said the Panthers’ representatives.
Located just 35 miles from Charlotte in Kings Mountain, the $1 billion resort will feature 4,300 slot machines, 11 dining spaces, and a 24-story, 385-room hotel. Before that, an introductory casino, part of the new complex, is planned to open in spring 2026.
