super bowl 52The Super Bowl is the yearly championship game of the NFL, known as National Football League. To dig a little deeper, the game was invented as part of the union agreement between the NFL and AFL (American Football League), its then-rival league. Everything was then agreed that the 2 leagues’ champions teams would feature in the AFL-NFL world championship Game until the union was to officially commence in 1970!

There’s a lot that goes into the programme of a Super Bowl. This year, you could see the Philadelphia Eagles against the New England Patriot in Minnesota, Bank Stadium. First of all, what did you notice? Well, it’s the game itself which was followed by the full of clock stoppages and time outs. After then came the commercials, which for many people are the most significant part of the day. Add to that the halftime show, the extended pre-game ceremonies and the whole involvement really started to drag on!

Last year, Houston became the greatest city in the world for the Super Bowl. Luke Bryan opened the show by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner”. He has twice been named the Country Music Association Entertainer and Academy of Country Music of the Year. He has equally hosted the ACM Awards for 4 years in a row. And during the halftime, Lady Gaga made her entry. The singer wanted to perform her show on the roof of NRG Stadium. Despite, many claims that this show was the best of all time, this year has been more than outstanding.

During the last week’s game between Eagles and Patriots, Justin Timberlake hosted the Pepsi Super Bowl LII Halftime Show at the Bank Stadium in Minnesota. Justin has won ten Grammys and various other awards. The show was his third time performing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage. This gives him the distinction of having the most presences by an individual entertainer. Previously, he performed at Super Bowls XXXV and XXXVII.

Justin joined an esteemed list of recent halftime performances including U2, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, The Who, Madonna, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, and more.

The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show was the most watched and admired musical event of the year. However, last year’s show was better and most-watched musical event of all-time. It was equally the most-watched Super Bowl Halftime acts in history through digital channels. It reached more than 150 million people, and totalling 260 million minutes watched.

Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event in the world! But, there are other sports games which are adored by millions of people. For that reason, Spin and Win casino has come up with different types of sport themed slots on its site.  At the end of the day, these games bring entertainment and happiness to all the people around the world. You can simply watch them and make the most out of!
