To celebrate the launch of Reactoonz 100, Play’n GO’s iconic slot character Garga reached a max altitude of 37,753 metres (117,300 ft) in a two-hour flight to set a world record and become the first slot character ever in space

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced that one of the most iconic characters in slots, Garga, has set a world record by becoming the first slot character in space.

To celebrate today’s launch of Reactoonz 100, the latest game to feature Garga and the rest of the Reactoonz clan, Garga was sent on an out of this world voyage that reached a maximum altitude of 37,753 meters (117,300 ft) in a space flight that lasted just under two hours.

Ebba Arnred, Chief Marketing Officer of Play’n GO, said: “The Reactoonz, and Garga in particular, are some of the most iconic characters in slots that have brought entertainment to millions of players all over the world.

“When our games department told us Reactoonz 100 was on the way and it was going to be one of the biggest games of the year, the brief I gave to our brilliant marketing team was simple – I want an out of this world launch. They took that brief extremely literally.

“The Play’n GO brand has fun as one of its core tenants, and we always like to include an element of surprise in everything we do. Garga in space does all of that and more.

“Garga in space gives our fans a chance to see their favourite character reach new heights and gives our operator partners a platform from which to launch this incredible game. Will there be more surprises in the coming days? Count on it.”

The original Reactoonz, featuring the iconic Garga, charmed players with quirky alien animations and chain-reaction wins becoming one of the most played online slot games of all time.

Reactoonz 100 keeps that charm but dials up the unpredictability, stacking in fresh Quantum Features and big win potential for those who love fast-paced multiplier slots.

Garga’s space flight to celebrate the launch of Reactoonz 100 has been verified as a world record by the World Record Certification Agency (WRCA). Based in London, WRCA is a global authority in world record certification. Every WRCA certificate represents the highest verified achievement in its category, symbolizing excellence, innovation, and perseverance.

David Lucas, a specialist in gambling, alcohol and entertainment, will chair a power-packed one-hour seminar session on “Working with Licensing Authorities” as part of the expanded EAG Expo, incorporating the Social Immersive Entertainment Expo and the London Casino & Gaming Show.

Lucas – who is a Director of Best Bar None the respected consultancy which provides training to licensing authorities on all aspects of licensing and gambling, has played a pivotal role in shaping modern licensing law. His fingerprints are on both the Licensing Act 2003 and the Gambling Act 2005, and his published works remain go-to references for operators and authorities alike.

The session, taking place at midday on Wednesday, January 14, is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the sector’s foremost authorities. It will be a hands-on, practical panel discussion, chaired by Lucas and joined by three panellists representing Bacta, the broader industry, and a licensing authority – all bringing frontline experience to the table.

Together, they’ll tackle the three big themes every operator needs to master: applications, local risk assessments, and premises inspections.

EAG Chairman Nick Harding said: “There are few subjects more critical to gambling operators than licensing – and no-one better equipped to explain its intricacies than David Lucas. It’s a must-attend for anyone serious about ensuring they remain compliant and competitive.”
