The activation captured attention far beyond traditional industry channels and reinforced Play\u2019n GO\u2019s reputation for creativity that extends well beyond the game itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Andrew Pink<\/strong>, head of brand &amp; communication at Play\u2019n GO, said: \u201cWinning Game of the Year is a huge moment for Reactoonz 100 and for everyone across Play\u2019n GO who brought this project to life. Reactoonz is one of the most important franchises in our history, and with Reactoonz 100 we set out to push both the creative and cultural boundaries of what a game launch could be. This award is a powerful validation of that ambition, and of the belief that bold ideas, executed properly, still cut through in this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its release, Reactoonz 100 has achieved near-universal rollout across Play\u2019n GO\u2019s partner network in <strong>more than 35 regulated markets<\/strong>, delivering strong and sustained performance well beyond launch. Its success reflects both the enduring appeal of the Reactoonz brand and Play\u2019n GO\u2019s continued focus on innovation within a responsible, regulation\u2011first framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Game of the Year win at the SBC Europe Awards further strengthens Play\u2019n GO\u2019s position as the leading supplier of premium casino entertainment, following a year defined by landmark launches, creative ambition and industry recognition,&#8221; the company said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The game was supported by a launch campaign as part of the company&#8217;s 20th anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":24285,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":true,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Play\u2019n GO's Reactoonz 100 has been awarded Game of the Year at the SBC Europe Awards 2026, recognizing its outstanding creative ambition, commercial performance, and cultural impact.
