Gambling Insider and Gaming America are proud to host the 11th annual Global Gaming Awards Americas and once again celebrate the industry's great accomplishments.

The 11th annual Global Gaming Awards Americas is set to celebrate the very best of what the gaming industry has offered over the course of the past 12-18 months, recognizing a range of different companies with prestigious Awards that are decided by a strict voting process. 

With over 100 senior industry executives from land-based and online sectors across the Americas choosing the winners, the Awards ensure that the very best are honored each year. Only one executive per company is allowed to participate in the Judging Panel and KPMG in the Crown Dependencies independently adjudicates the voting process, ensuring judges are excluded from voting in categories where possible conflict could arise.  

“After a decade of celebrating the very best of the gaming industry and getting to honor all of these amazing companies, we’re so excited for this year’s event which will be better than ever,” Global Gaming Awards Event Manager Mariya Savova said. 

“Every year, the development we see across the industry expands farther than anyone could imagine. We receive hundreds of nominations and while they are all absolutely deserving of each respective award, we can only shortlist 10 companies per category. For those who have, congratulations on such an amazing achievement already.” 

The Global Gaming Awards will be returning to Las Vegas for its 11th edition this October and the Shortlist of potential winners has now been finalized. All shortlisted companies will be contacted in the coming weeks and should watch out for an email from the Global Gaming Awards events team. 

The full Shortlist for the Global Gaming Awards Americas 2024 will be delivered to the public in September, with the winners being revealed at a luncheon ceremony on October 7 at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas. The event will also be livestreamed for anyone unable to attend on the day. 

The Global Gaming Awards have come to earn the reputation of being the most prestigious Awards in the industry throughout its existence. These are the only industry Awards that choose to publicly release the reasoning behind why each company or individual has been nominated.  

The Shortlist is created after careful review of all nominations submitted by the companies eligible to participate. It also received recommendations from several industry experts and consultants.

Nominations are based entirely on merit and as a result of a company or individual’s performance in the Americas region during the past 12-18 months. Any companies that include multiple brands within its business can only have one of the said brands shortlisted in a particular category.

The Global Gaming Awards are powered by Gaming America and Gambling Insider. KPMG in the Crown Dependencies is the official voting adjudicator. BetConstruct is the Lead Partner of this year’s event and category sponsors include Light & Wonder, Play'n GO,  Interblock Gaming, SPRIBE, Aristocrat Gaming, Soft2Bet, Playtech and NOVOMATIC. 

The Global Gaming Awards Americas reward the best performers from the supplier and operator verticals in the Americas. There are two more Global Gaming Awards events each year, dedicated to the industry in the EMEA and Asia-Pacific respectively.
