Scientific Games and Loto-Québec Sustainability Innovation Wins at 40th Annual Gutenberg Awards
Scientific Games and Canadian lottery partner Loto-Québec won a prestigious Gutenberg Award at the 40th Annual Gala Gutenberg for the Folie des plantes (Plant Madness) game produced on 100% recyclable paper.
Plant Madness is one of the first lottery instant games in the world produced by the company on 100% recyclable fiber for Loto-Québec in 2021. The Gutenberg Awards are the Québec printing industry’s premier event, highlighting the talent, creativity, and know-how of printing craftsmen. This year, the Gutenberg Awards added a category focused on sustainability with reusable and recyclable products.
Loto-Québec and Scientific Games collaborated on sustainable instant games, creating a model for the lottery industry. After five years of testing, a 100% recyclable game was produced in 2021 at Scientific Games’ Montreal instant game production facility with water-based inks on recycled and Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper stock provided by Québec sustainable paper company, Sustana Group. A total of five 100% recyclable Loto-Québec games have been produced by Scientific Games including Plant Madness, Évasion (Escape), Code secret (Secret Code), SLINGO 10X, and C’est quoi ton signe? (What’s Your Sign?).
Isabelle Jean, Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Lottery Games for Loto-Québec said: “Our scratch games printed on 100% recycled paper stock are a world first that were made possible through dedicated collaboration between Loto-Québec, Sustana Group and Scientific Games. I’d like to thank and congratulate the teams who worked on this innovative project, as it’s helped to reduce the environmental footprint of our games.”
Scientific Games produced Loto-Québec’s first instant game more than 50 years ago and is the Lottery’s primary instant game partner, serving its business from the company’s Montreal production facility which has employed generations of Québec workforce including expert printing professionals.
Marc-Andre Doyon, Vice President Canada for Scientific Games, said: “We are honored to receive an award for this meaningful sustainability innovation with our partner Loto-Québec, and together lead the global lottery industry in instant game sustainability efforts.”

Endorphina Limited has obtained a Gaming-Related Supplier registration in Ontario, Canada, allowing the company to supply its online slot content to licensed operators in the province.
The registration was issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Ontario is one of North America’s most closely regulated online gambling markets.
“Securing approval in Ontario is a significant achievement for Endorphina. It confirms the quality of our products, the strength of our compliance framework, and our readiness to operate in highly regulated environments,” said Head of Compliance at Endorphina, Džangar Jesenov.
Endorphina said it has a portfolio of 200+ slots, partnerships with 6,000+ operators, and an active presence in more than 50 jurisdictions. The company positions the Ontario approval as part of its broader expansion strategy in regulated markets.

Amusnet is entering the North American market after securing a Gaming-Related Supplier–Manufacturer Registration from the AGCO in Ontario, Canada, marking a strategic milestone in the group’s global expansion.
Licensing grants Amusnet access to Ontario’s regulated iGaming market, which is one of the most established and fast-growing jurisdictions in North America, known for its robust regulatory framework and strong long-term growth potential.
It will allow the supplier to offer online gaming content to licensed operators in the province, officially establishing its presence in the region. Amusnet will initially roll out its iGaming portfolio, with the option to expand into Land-based solutions at a later stage.
Ontario’s regulatory framework emphasises strict compliance, ensuring that all suppliers adhere to high standards in technology, security and player protection. This makes Ontario a key benchmark market for companies entering North America. The new registration further confirms that Amusnet has successfully met these rigorous requirements for integrity and regulatory compliance, enabling it to distribute its content across the province.
“Securing the AGCO licence is an important milestone for Amusnet and reflects our long-term commitment to operating in fully regulated markets. Our entry into Ontario represents a key strategic step into North America, which is a high-priority region with strong long-term growth potential. We look forward to partnering with local operators and building a sustainable presence in the market,” said Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Amusnet.
