Grand Slam Track™, the new global home of professional track competition, launched by four-time Olympic Champion Michael Johnson, announced it has selected global sports AI, tech and data leader Stats Perform as its exclusive global data and betting rights distributor and integrity partner.
Grand Slam Track™ is the premier global professional track league, featuring head-to-head matchups between the fastest stars in the sport. Every detail has been designed to unlock the sport’s full potential of storytelling, personalities, and gamification for broadcast and commercial partners and most importantly, for track stars and fans.
Amongst increased prize money, contracted racers, and many other innovations designed to elevate the profile of track racing, only one event will take place at a time at each Slam. The Slams will be broadcast live on linear TV and streaming and across licensed sportsbooks. Together these initiatives are expected to create unprecedented fan affinity and attention for the racers and rivalries.
Stats Perform is a trusted partner to many of the world’s highest-profile professional men’s and women’s sports organizations, with a deep expertise in collecting, creating, and distributing trusted, premium sports data, AI technology, and news and video content to maximize fan and bettor engagement, as well as supplying integrity services across the world of professional sport.
“We’re delighted to partner with a world leader like Stats Perform to help us bring track to more fans across the globe,” said Michael Johnson, Commissioner of Grand Slam Track™.
“We look forward to setting a new standard for our sport with Stats Perform’s extensive network of trusted media and betting partners, eye-opening technology, and their true passion for the power of sport to unify and entertain. After helping leagues like the Premier League, WTA, La Liga and more build their audiences, we’re excited for them to do the same with Grand Slam Track™,” he added.
“This partnership with Stats Perform is important for Grand Slam Track and the entire sport for a few reasons,” said Steve Gera, President of Grand Slam Track. “In addition to co-investing into the development of data and betting infrastructure for the sport, Stats Perform is also ensuring that all of our athletes, partners, and stakeholders enter this space with the highest level of knowledge, education, and integrity. They will be an important asset to the large investment our league is making into this sport.”
“MJ and the Grand Slam Track™ team have created something with astonishing entertainment and commercial potential for men’s and women’s track athletics, built upon his decades of unique experience on all sides of the spectrum, as a racer, as a media professional, and as an entrepreneur,” explained Carl Mergele, Chief Executive Officer at Stats Perform.
“Everyone at Stats Perform is honored to have been selected as Grand Slam Track™’s exclusive data and betting streaming rights provider. We are excited to help them realize their vision of lifting the stories and personalities of track racing to their rightful positions in the hearts and minds of fans and bettors globally,” he said.
Grand Slam Track™ will host four Slams taking place this year between April and June in Kingston, Jamaica, Miami at Miramar, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. 96 contracted men’s and women’s star athletes will race over three action-packed hours, across 12 event groups for three consecutive nights. All four Grand Slam Track events will be streamed live in the U.S. on Peacock, including exclusive coverage of Slam Fridays, with the CW Network providing broadcast coverage of Slam Saturdays and Sundays.

Viper City Heist brings a neon-soaked criminal caper to the reels
Play’n GO steps into the underworld of Viper City with its new slot, Viper City Heist, where cunning strategy and raw firepower lead to big rewards.
Viper City Heist throws players into a world of vault-busting gangsters and turf-war tensions. Led by the Boss, a crew of hard-bitten misfits reunites for one last job – a high-stakes hit on a rival gang’s underground vault. Every detail, from the moody neon skyline to the pulse of its synth-heavy soundtrack, immerses players in a cinematic clash of ambition and revenge.
Combining visual flair with exciting mechanics, this 5×3 slot with 20 fixed paylines offers a potent mix of instant prizes and feature-rich gameplay that stays true to Play’n GO’s signature storytelling style.
Two standout mechanics – Quick Hit and Heist Re-Spin – reflect the game’s fast-paced narrative. Quick Hit offers instant gratification by awarding visible Bonus Prize Symbols on non-winning spins, while Heist Re-Spin locks symbols in place for a shot at accumulating serious loot. The Vault Raid Free Spins take the intensity up a notch, launching with a Vault Wheel that sets both Free Spin count and Win Multiplier – with potential for 150 spins and a x10 multiplier. These features aren’t just flashy; they’re tightly woven into the game’s high-stakes theme, reinforcing Play’n GO’s commitment to seamless gameplay and compelling storytelling.
While Viper City Heist carves out its own identity, it echoes the gritty aesthetic seen in Cash Pump and the narrative depth of Mafia Gold. Fans of crime-laden slot tales will appreciate the layered characters, escalating tension, and multiple ways to take a rival’s riches. It’s a classic revenge story told through thrilling, player-first design.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, commented: “Viper City Heist captures that cinematic feel we strive for – it’s bold, stylish, and mechanically sharp. We think players will love stepping into this fast-paced, adrenaline-fuelled world.”
With daring features and atmospheric flair, Viper City Heist is set to be a steal for fans of high-impact slots.
