Rob Gronkowski is taking his talents to New Jersey. For an hour. To play roulette.
The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end is once again teaming up with FanDuel, this time in the sportsbook’s live casino, where he will be hosting live dealer roulette from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 16 for New Jersey iCasino players.
Roulette players will be able to communicate with Gronkowski via the chat feature.
Gronkowski has previously teamed up with FanDuel on successive “Kick of Destiny” promotions during the Super Bowl. For the last two years, FanDuel customers had free money riding on Gronk’s ability to kick a 25-yard field goal.
He failed both times.
Gronk has a FanDuel slot
Gronkowski also has his own branded slot game on FanDuel, titled Gronk’s Touchdown Treasures Megaways. The game features Gronk’s name, voice, and likeness, including a sunglass-wearing “wild” Gronk symbol on the reels.
It’s believed that Thursday’s event marks the first time a celebrity has hosted a live dealer event for any online casino in America.
Besides New Jersey, iCasino is also legal in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, and West Virginia.
