SUPERDRAFT ADDS MUSIC GAMIFICATION TO FANTASY LINEUP WITH “BATTLE OF BANDS” POWERED BY MUSICAL PLATFORM

Published

on

SuperDraft Inc., the daily fantasy platform within Caesars Entertainment Inc.’s (NASDAQ: CZR) portfolio, announced a partnership with Musical, the world’s first music creation marketplace and sound platform, to launch a “Battle of Bands” app and competition.

The inaugural “Battle of Bands” is a 64 team bracket competition where anonymous artists and bandmates compete for song supremacy using Musical’s innovative avatar system. Each song must be an original piece of work that does not exist on the Internet. Unique to this challenge is that each song is an NFT with valuable IP ownership rights that potentially increase in value based on performance.  Fans will vote weekly for match up winners with payouts predicated on changing odds. Champions will be awarded prizes from Musical and Caesars such as studio time, marketing funds and the opportunity to perform at its famed properties.

“Music contests and TV shows have long been a favorite of fans. We think the idea of applying gamification and NFTs to this concept is an exciting next step into what the metaverse will mean for music and independent artists charting their own path. We’re excited to power the gaming experience for Battle of Bands and the Musical platform,” said Chief Digital Officer Andrew Schaberg of SuperDraft

Musical is a decentralized platform and toolset for collaboration, ownership and channel distribution, bringing together global talent and fans, creating the Web3 system of record for sound, and “label” of the people. Built for creators, by creators, the platform is a one-stop-shop for musicians to collaborate, crowdfund, negotiate royalties, distribute multimedia content and mint NFTs. In addition to running its own marketplace, Musical is able to partner with companies across distribution channels such as streaming and sync, or create new experiences altogether a la “Battle of Bands.”

“Musical’s partnership with SuperDraft will further expand the daily fantasy platform’s well-rounded portfolio of sports betting to offer something new – think The Masked Singer meets March Madness,” said Phillip Rather, CEO of Musical World, Inc. “Together this alliance will offer new, untapped exposure and fan-engagement opportunities for musicians while also opening up a new monetary stream that allows them to share their original songs with the world.”

Caesars Entertainment Inc., in partnership with the Arizona Diamondbacks, announced that Caesars Sportsbook at Chase Field is officially open. The two-story, 22,300 square-foot entertainment destination is located adjacent to Chase Field in Downtown Phoenix and is now the largest freestanding sportsbook in Arizona and the largest retail sportsbook to open in partnership with a major sports stadium nationwide.

This new, first-class sportsbook and full-service restaurant combo is unlike any opened to date. The venue features a total of nine betting windows and 13 self-service betting kiosks as well as wall-to-wall flatscreen televisions, breathtaking patio space, along with table and plush lounge-style seating on both floors with a total capacity of more than 425.

“We’re extremely proud to bring Caesars Sportsbook and Guy Fieri’s Kitchen + Bar to Chase Field and Downtown Phoenix.

“What an incredible day for our fans, sports enthusiasts, guests and especially for our organization. We are proud to partner with Caesars Entertainment and Guy Fieri, to bring a year-round first-class sportsbook, restaurant and event space to Downtown Phoenix. Everything about this dynamic venue, from the food to the design to the service, has been meticulously planned for an unmatched guest experience,” D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall said.

Bloc9 Architecture served as architect on the project in partnership with Borisoff Design Studio while The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company served as general contractor to create a venue that conveys the Caesars Sportsbook brand in a modern way through a lively and contemporary space fit for a Caesar.

“I’ve worked with the Caesars team for nearly a decade opening restaurants all over the country together. They are the best of the best. The idea of bringing this next-level restaurant concept to Arizona, a place where I have showcased more than 30 restaurants through ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ over the years, was a no-brainer for me. Thank you to the D-backs and Caesars for making it happen,” Fieri said.
