The Golden State Warriors, California-based NBA franchise has entered a new partnership with fantasy sports operator DraftKings, which will give them the marketing rights and official sponsor of the team at special Slate Night games. The idea behind the new deal is to create a party atmosphere at select games to give fans a new live sports experience. NBA 2020 At the Slate Night games, the Warriors will wear all-new dark uniforms, while the beautiful Golden State cheerleading squad and various DJ’s get the crowd worked up. The vision is to take the NBA experience into the future and one of the ways to do so is to create a more interactive game. The games will be marketed as, “presented by DraftKings” and will include unique marketing and sales that will boost both the team and DraftKings fantasy sports platform. The Warriors are not the first team to partner with DraftKings for special marketing, as they have other deals with Minnesota, Philadelphia and Houston. Slate Night Winning Streak The first special Slate Night pilot was introduced in December 2014, and the Golden State Warriors have not yet lost a game during those games. Perhaps the key to winning their home games is to turn them into a party. Both parties are excited about the new deal and have praised what it holds for the future of the sport, as Warriors President and CEO commented, “As we continue to look for ways to further engage our fans, partnering with fantasy sports leaders like DraftKings makes perfect sense. We are excited to partner with a well-respected and innovative fantasy sports leader and be one of the first teams in the NBA to officially partner with DraftKings.” A more interactive fan experience could be the direction all professional sports are heading and DraftKings are proud to be one of the pioneers of this new path.

The Los Angeles Kings face off tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets in an inter-conference showdown. They have met once before during the current season in which the Kings beat the Blue Jackets 5-2. Columbus was winning that game 1-0 before the Kings went on a 4-goal scoring streak over 16 minutes of play in the second period. The Blue Jackets will be seeking revenge tonight in front of their home town fans, hoping to improve on what has been a tough year. Team Scope The Kings are 22-18-12 and are in 5th place in the Pacific division, in need of some wins to creep back up in the standings. Led by their star players Tyler Toffoli, and Jeff Carter, the Kings were able to hold off the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, which ended their three-game losing streak. They are behind the Flames by five points for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference but they will be without Alec Martinez on defense due to an injury he sustained on Saturday. The Blue jackets are 23-25-3, 7th in the Metropolitan division and desperately need to continue on their winning ways, after beating the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

The World Series of Poker is arguably the biggest series of poker events in the world, and this year, it is taking its already-elite status to the next level by offering the first-ever WSOP bracelet event on the internet. A “bracelet event” is one in which the winner is awarded a WSOP bracelet, the most respected non-monetary prize in the WSOP. The WSOP 2015 online bracelet event is number 64 out of 68 events in total, with a $1,000 buy-in for a no limit hold’em tournament. Most of the event will take place online, but at the end, the two final players will have to appear in-person at the Rio All-Suite Hotel for the actual awarding of the bracelet. The event will take place on June 2, 2015, and the final play will take place at the Rio on July 3, 2015. Though the majority of the event will take place online, WSOP organizers decided to hold the final game at the Rio, because “part of the experience of winning a WSOP bracelet is that photo with the bracelet,” said Bill Rinitold, head of the WSOP website. The Significance of a WSOP Online Event Online gambling is one of the hottest topics at a state-level and also at a federal-level. Since 2013, only three states have legalized online gambling: Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware. But others hope to follow suit, as taxes from online gambling have the potential to yield state governments a huge profit. At a federal level, both proponents and opponents of legalized online gambling have been fighting tooth and nail for quite some time. The WSOP online event, number 64, will only be open to players in Nevada, not in New Jersey. This exclusion highlights the lack of player fluidity that exists within the states that have already legalized online gambling - and players are not happy about it. What does this mean for the future? States and the federal government will soon have to rule yay or nay on the issue, because it seems that as of now, the public is clamoring for it.
