Reading Time: 3 minutes
Signature Amateur Esports Events at Topgolf Venues will Include Mobile and Console Competitions, Starting with Super League Gaming’s Clash Nights
Global sports entertainment leader Topgolf® and Super League Gaming, the world’s premier amateur esports company, have announced a partnership to bring amateur competitive video gaming events to Topgolf venues across the country. The program kicks off in February in Las Vegas with the Super League Gaming event series, Super League Clash Nights, based on Clash Royale, the massively popular and broadly inclusive mobile game from top publisher Supercell.
This comes on the heels of the partnership between Topgolf and TCL®, America’s fastest-growing TV brand, and will spawn the first set of competitions in the new TCL esports lounges currently being established in prime Topgolf venues. Experiences in both the TCL esports lounges and other locations will feature in-venue “shoutcasters” and real-time gameplay broadcasts on premium TCL televisions, with simultaneous live streams and supporting video content running on SuperLeagueTV on Twitch, YouTube and other digital platforms. Players will enjoy a variety of competitive formats, leveraging the extensive functionality of Super League Gaming’s proprietary tournament operations and visualization technology platform.
“Super League Gaming understands how to deliver great in-person experiences for mainstream competitive video gamers, a rapidly increasing segment of our customer base,” said YuChiang Cheng, president, Topgolf Media. “We love their inclusive vision and how they have established dedicated local communities in major markets with Topgolf venues. Together, we are creating a unique space for gamers to have a world-class, competitive and fun experience.”
With Super League as both a live event and technology partner, Topgolf venues will host mobile and console based esports programs, ranging from single-location events to location-vs-location competitions and eventually to local, regional and national amateur leagues. The companies will work together to integrate brand partners into the experiences and also welcome third-party tournament organizers to run their own esports events at Topgolf using the Super League platform.
“Topgolf has established one of the most impressive experiential brands in the world and recognizes that esports can be a significant additional growth engine for their business,” said Matt Edelman, chief commercial officer of Super League Gaming. “We are honored to be their primary esports content partner and excited to collaborate with the Topgolf team to bring Super League events and our platform into their remarkable, expanding footprint.”

Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has been granted an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate, reinforcing its commitment to implementing robust compliance measures.
Having previously gained an ISO 27001:2013 certificate three years ago, this updated version is key in safeguarding sensitive information and required for Playson to hold its existing licences in valuable regulated markets.
This latest development coincides with Playson’s plans to further extend its outreach across a number of regions over the next 12 months, paving the way for the supplier to enter new jurisdictions in a more streamlined way.
The accreditation was awarded by Quinel and recognises the provider’s adherence in aligning with the standards that the International Organisation for Standardisation sets, demonstrating its ability to mitigate any information security risks whilst meeting all necessary legal and regulatory requirements.
The 2022 version includes updates and revisions to better address contemporary information security risks and challenges, such as those related to cloud computing, remote working, and emerging technologies. It provides organisations with a framework for implementing and managing an effective information security management system (ISMS) to protect their sensitive information assets.
Vsevolod Lapin, Deputy CEO at Playson, said: “The transition to ISO 2022 is welcome news for the business, and shows our continued dedication to compliance and regulation. Partners can rest assured of Playson’s heightened security measures and adherence to international standards with us acquiring this certificate.
“Greece, Ontario and Sweden are vital territories for Playson, with this certification also necessary for the Swiss market, and I expect the ISO 2022 to be required for more jurisdictions in the future, so this recognition has been received at a good time as we look to strengthen our global standing.”

Adorned with bear, eagle and dreamcatcher symbols, this Native American-inspired slot immerses players with every spin of the expanding reels, providing ample opportunity to discover the hidden riches with two or more adjacent high-paying symbols awarding a win.

The falling wild feature is activated should a moon wild symbol appear on the reels. During the feature, the moon wild symbol remains on the reels, cascading down one place on every subsequent spin until it exits the reels from the bottom.
Landing three red dream catcher symbols triggers the Fire Free Spins in which players collect paw symbols that are added to the collection meter. The more paw symbols collected, the higher the prize value at the end of the bonus round with a jackpot of up to 250x up for grabs.
Landing three blue dream catcher symbols triggers the Spirit Free Spins bonus. During this feature, a falling wild moon symbol makes its way onto the reels, one for each spin with a win multiplier of either 2x or 3x. The multiplied wild only leaves once it reaches the bottom of a reel.
With OROS Gaming’s widely acclaimed Magnificent Power series resonating strongly with players globally, Magnificent Power Wolf Fire Spirit™ builds upon this success, with a variety of innovative mechanics designed to immerse and thrill players.
OROS Gaming prides itself on understanding the needs of the end-user, keeping up to date with industry trends and the type of content that resonates the most with players. Through this focus, the company aims to produce high-quality slots that deliver on player expectations.
