McLaren Shadow Project Middle-East Finals at The Avenues BahrainReading Time: 3 minutes

 

  • Live finals to be held on 23 November at The Avenues, Bahrain with 16 contestants competing for a chance to represent the Middle East in the McLaren Shadow Project world finals
  • An entire week-end of fun for families and friends
  • A chance to play against and learn from professional champion Olli Pahkala from McLaren Shadow F1 esports team

 

The countdown to the Middle-East finals of the McLaren Shadow Project is well underway as 16 esports hopefuls prepare to battle on 23 November for the chance to represent the region in the 2019 world finals at the McLaren Technology Centre in the UK in January 2019. The winner of the McLaren Shadow Project championship will get a seat in the team’s new F1 esports team and join the McLaren esports development programme where they will hone their skills and work with the McLaren F1 team.


Launched in July 2018, Shadow Project Middle-East is the result of a dynamic partnership between Bahrain-based Atyaf e-Racing, McLaren and UK-based motorsport agency MPA Creative to discover the Middle East’s next eracing star.

The event will be run from Thursday, 22 November until Saturday, 24 November at The Avenues Bahrain, Gate 3.

Olli Pahkala, a relative “veteran” of the esports scene, has become one of its most prominent figures after finishing third in the prestigious 2014-2016 iRacing World Championship Grand Prix Series before earning a semi-final spot in the 2017 Visa Vegas eRace. He will be available to meet visitors and share his expertise and experience in the world of sim racing.

“We are excited to see the first Shadow Project event come to life here in Bahrain,” said Dr Mohamed Ahmed Jumaan, Co-Founder and Director of Atyaf e-sports. “We have a long-term plan for this programme and together with our partners McLaren we are keen to see this grow around the region. We will also be following our winner through the competition in the UK and will promote his experience to our local enthusiasts to encourage participation in future activities and maybe find a star of the future!”

Atyaf e-Racing has also planned a number of fun activities for the public: a retro-gaming display will enable parents and kids to discover the world of gaming from early games such as Super Mario Kart, and various old consoles and TV sets. There will also be a free-to-play area where visitors can practice their skills on Xbox One and Forza Motorsport 7.

On Saturday, the main stage will open to the public, enabling friends and families to compete against one another in mini racing tournaments.

Last, but not least, a specially imported road safety simulator will provide insight and education into safe driving behaviour through virtual reality practice.

Dr. Mohamed also wanted to express his appreciation for the support this event has received from Tamkeen, Gulf Air, DHL and from the many technology suppliers present at the event.

Vegangster Gives Operators Real-Time Jackpot Control and a New Revenue Stream with Sharedluck’s JackpotX

Published

on

Platform provider Vegangster has completed the integration of JackpotX, a flexible jackpot engine developed by Sharedluck, giving operators a new way to run scalable jackpot campaigns across brands and game catalogues. The integration focuses on player-contribution jackpots, creating an additional revenue stream for operators.

JackpotX provides more granular control than traditional jackpot tools. Operators can configure several jackpot tiers, define custom triggers, and adjust campaign parameters in real time without downtime. This makes it easier to launch targeted campaigns quickly and align jackpots with specific retention or promotional objectives.

With the integration, Vegangster clients can manage jackpots directly inside their existing back office. Campaigns can be linked to selected brands, game groups, or specific player cohorts, with real-time performance insights available through Sharedluck’s dashboards. This helps teams monitor engagement, track contribution levels, and optimise campaigns while they are Running.

For players, jackpot values update in real time across all touchpoints, including lobby displays, game interfaces, and promotional banners, creating visible momentum as prizes grow. This transparency drives catalogue exploration and extends session time, giving operators a practical tool for supporting both short-term promotional bursts and longer-term engagement Strategies.

Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, said:

“Jackpots remain one of the clearest levers for engagement in online casinos. Sharedluck built an engine that offers operators the level of precision and flexibility they expect from modern tools. With JackpotX inside Vegangster, teams can run customised jackpot campaigns at the speed their operations require.”

The partnership brings Sharedluck’s jackpot engine directly into Vegangster’s ecosystem, giving operators a straightforward way to deploy contribution-based jackpots and track performance through real-time analytics.

Chris Scicluna, Co-Founder at Sharedluck, said:

“We are excited to bring JackpotX to Vegangster operators. In successful campaigns, we have seen higher retention, longer session times, stronger conversion from casual to regular play, and clear uplift in VIP-focused promotions. We look forward to seeing Vegangster clients achieve similar results.”

The integration is now available for all Vegangster operators. Existing clients can enable JackpotX through their account manager, with configuration handled inside the Vegangster back office and supported by Sharedluck’s analytics dashboards. New operators can access the module during onboarding as part of their standard setup process.

Operators can get a closer look at JackpotX at ICE Barcelona, Fira Barcelona Gran Via, 19–21 January 2026, with live demos available at stand 1E20.
