The Sacramento Kings aren’t sure when California will legalize sports betting, but the NBA franchise is putting the preparation work in now so that it can hit the ground running when the state eventually does.
The Kings are further investing in their partnership with interactive fan engagement partner Xperiel, which has built the team’s free-to-play prediction game Call The Shot. As part of an expanded deal, the Kings have brought on gambling giant MGM Resorts International as a sponsor and will begin offering a more robust suite of prizes to winners.
Call The Shot enables fans to make free real-time predictions from the Kings’ mobile app, including anything from shooting percentage and which teams will have the highest rebounds to top scoring players and teams.
