Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Bolt will join forces with Ganapati to launch the first official ‘Usain Bolt' online slot game, to be released this summer.

In addition, Bolt will be joining Ganapati at industry event ICE London next month.

Speaking about the partnership, Usain Bolt said: "I am proud to be teaming up with Ganapati to create my first ever official online slot game. Ganapati’s goal to produce innovative and creative content fits perfectly with my brand, making this partnership a natural one for me.

"Ganapati and I have been working on this together for some time now and I look forward to sharing the final product with you all."

Ganapati COO Juliet Adelstein added: "This partnership between Ganapati and Usain Bolt is hugely exciting and represents just how big we have grown in such a short space of time.

"Usain has worked closely with us to create this special game and neither of us can wait to release the official Usain Bolt slot game later this year."

Bolt becomes the second high-profile sportsman to collaborate with Ganapati in recent times, with Manny Pacquiao teaming up with the supplier to launch a slot game last year.
