Play’n GO’s Garga makes history as first slot character in space

iGaming content provider Play’n GO has made history by sending one of its most iconic slot characters, Garga, into space.

The milestone coincides with the launch of Reactoonz 100, the latest game featuring Garga and the rest of the Reactoonz clan. The flight reached 37,753 meters (117,300 ft) and lasted just under two hours, marking Garga as the first slot character ever to travel to space. Fans can watch the full flight online here.

“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,” said Ebba Arnred, Chief Marketing Officer of Play'n GO.

"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.”

She said the result—Garga’s spaceflight—captures the brand’s focus on fun and surprise, giving fans a chance to see their favorite character reach new heights and providing operator partners with a unique platform to launch the game. 

"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,” Arnred added. “Will there be more surprises in the coming days? Count on it."

The original Reactoonz charmed players with quirky alien animations and chain-reaction wins. Reactoonz 100 builds on that success with new Quantum Features and bigger win potential.

Garga’s flight has been officially verified as a world record by the World Record Certification Agency (WRCA), recognizing it as a global achievement in innovation and entertainment.
