Topgolf Launches New Mobile Game Experience 'Shankstars'

Players will enjoy a full slate of imaginative courses, original characters and fun game modes

Digital golfers, assemble! Modern golf entertainment leader Topgolf is inviting Players across the globe to embark on a fun adventure and play golf in a unique way with the launch of its new mobile game, Shankstars .

Topgolf's new mobile game ‘Shankstars' is free to download and offers Players another opportunity to enjoy the game of golf in their own way.

"Shankstars is a perfect example of how we are focused on enabling more people to have fun and enjoy the game of golf in their own way," said Topgolf CEO Artie Starrs . "Introducing innovative ways to modernize the game and connect communities through new ways to play is at the core of who we are as a brand."

Available as a free download, Shankstars is a fun, approachable mobile game designed to diversify the game of golf and welcome Players of all ages to experience the sport in a new way. With a variety of characters, imaginative courses and whimsical hazards, Players will experience wacky worlds and increasingly epic journeys as they advance and level up.

To successfully conquer the game's boldly designed courses, Players will build a team that includes the best of the best characters that they will earn and unlock. Each character has their own strengths and unique special abilities to help along the way. This includes a power-packing pirate and a terribly talented T-Rex skeleton, or perhaps a gravity-defying astronaut will provide the precision you need? The more users play, the more they will grow their dream team on this new journey. They can tee off on their own and attempt to beat an exciting single-player campaign or go head-to-head against real-life combatants to see where they stack up globally.

"Shankstars is loaded with exciting and unexpected surprises that everyone of all ages will enjoy," said Topgolf Media Chief Operating Officer JF Prata. "Regardless if you play solo or challenge people across the globe, if you're having fun, you're doing it right!"

Topgolf is the home of Shankstars, in-person and virtually. No matter how you play the game of golf, you don't need to be perfect to enjoy it. Fist pump on the first swings and call a mulligan on the shanked shots because there is no wrong way to play.

"We designed this game to be something different than what you've seen before," said Topgolf Media Director of Marketing Ashley Groth . "Play is at the center of our experience, and the launch of Shankstars continues our commitment to bring fun and a new personality to the game of golf."

Shankstars is currently available as a free download in the Apple App Store for iOS devices. Game availability for Android devices coming soon.

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
