Caesars Entertainment rose for a second day on Friday, eking out a 4.67-percent gain to close at $28.44 apiece following the launch of a new NBA-inspired slot game across its iGaming platforms.

Called NBA Triple Double Power Combo, the slot game is now live for the 2025 NBA Playoffs exclusively across Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada. The slot game was created in collaboration with Games Global.

“With the NBA Playoffs in full swing, NBA Triple Double Power Combo is the ultimate destination for basketball enthusiasts on our online gaming platforms,” said Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.

Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:CZR) is one of the leading casino-entertainment companies in the US and also one of the most diversified casino-entertainment providers globally.
