UFC and Games Global Sign Exclusive 3-Year Slot Agreement

In a surprise announcement on May 9th, the UFC shared the news of its latest online gambling coupe, becoming the exclusive brand partner of Games Global! The agreement will see the two giants partner up to produce a range of UFC-branded and themed casino games over the next few years.

Read on to learn more about the exciting partnership, what the next few months and years will hold for casino and mixed martial arts fans, and what online slots you can play today to prepare for the first official partnership release.

Exciting Game Developments on the Cards

Locking down the UFC and its incredible brand power is an incredible win for Games Global. Not only will it mean providing games that are guaranteed to be viral hits with live slot streamers, garnering a ton of exposure across social media and other online platforms, but it will also introduce the UFC’s more than 700 million global fans to an online casino developer that they may not know by name.

Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said:

“Games Global is thrilled to announce this knockout partnership with UFC, bringing the Octagon to life across multiple epic slot titles in the next few years. This exclusive deal allows us to develop UFC-themed online slots for UFC’s millions of fans who share our passion for action and excitement.”

Tracey Bleczinski, Senior Vice President of Global Consumer Products at UFC, said:

“At UFC, we’re always looking for innovative ways to engage with our passionate fanbase around the world. This exciting new partnership with Games Global allows us to do just that by bringing the intensity and energy of the Octagon to life through unique UFC-themed slot titles.”

What we know about the deal based on the official press release:

1. The contract makes Games Global the official casino software developer for the UFC for the next three years.
2. The game selection will be based on “classic casino slot machine games” and feature UFC fighter likenesses and symbols (most likely the UFC and associated logos).
3. While based on classic slot machines, the new games of chance will feature, at the very least, free spins and wilds.
4. Online sportsbooks will offer UFC games as long as they are in regions where Games Global is a licensed provider.
5. Select betting providers in regulated American regions will offer UFC slot games in their lobbies. Which betting sites will be announced at a later stage.

With Games Global being a leader in the progressive jackpot slot vertical, it's very possible that they could secure a long-term UFC agreement to develop a Mega Moolah, WowPot or King Millions title. This potential for future game developments beyond classic slots adds another layer of excitement to this fantastic partnership.
