Play’n GO boasts a portfolio of over 350 premium games, and is on track to release over 50 games in 2024 alone.
Ebba Arnred, Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder at Play’n GO, said “We’re honoured to receive this award from the team at EGR Italy, and it is testament to the entire team here at Play’n GO. I would like to thank everyone at EGR, the judges, and especially our Italian operator partners, without whom winning this award would not be possible. We pride ourselves as the best casino entertainment provider in the world; awards like this don’t so much affirm that belief as remind us of its importance. We look forward to defending our award in 2025, as we continue to deliver the best-in-class content that we are famous for.”
