Grizzlies and 76ers bet on casino partnerships

The 76ers have agreed a deal with Philadelphia-based SugarHouse Casino. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Under the 76ers deal, SugarHouse will take part in a number of season-long promotions. SugarHouse will also host the team’s official ‘Tip-Off Viewing Party’ at its Philadelphia casino facility on October 29.

Meanwhile, the Bizjournals.com website reports the Grizzlies have entered into a partnership with the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel.

The deal will run for three years, from the 2014-15 season until 2016-17.

Under the deal, Horseshoe will become the new title sponsor of the team’s courtside restaurant and bar. Previously known as the Lexus Lounge under an older deal with the Japanese automaker, the facility will now be known as the Horseshoe Club.
