“I hope age-appropriate fans will play and enjoy!”
TNA IMPACT WRESTLING is broadcast every Sunday night at 9pm on Challenge and is the highest-rated show on the channel, which is owned by British Sky Broadcasting.
The recent critically acclaimed TNA Wrestling: British Boot Camp reality TV series on Challenge, alongside the release of this TNA IMPACT slot game, supports Sky’s commitment to increase its investment in home grown content to £600m by 2014.

Ike McFadden, Director of Business development for MX Digital, added: “Because TNA IMPACT WRESTLING airs on Challenge, part of British Sky Broadcasting, it was a natural fit to launch the game with Sky Vegas.
