The upcoming Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas are fast approaching and we are pleased to announce that the full Shortlist is now available to read.

Following a year of virtual events, not only is G2E back to Las Vegas this October, but the most prestigious Awards in the gaming industry return for their eighth run on October 4 at the Sands Expo.

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas recognize and reward the gaming industry’s strongest performers across the previous 12 months, with a primary focus on the Americas. These are the most trusted Awards in the sector and have gained respect among industry heavyweights, making this the must-attend event that kicks off G2E.

Gaming America and Gambling Insider Editor-in-Chief, Julian Perry, said: “We are pleased to announce the return of the Global Gaming Awards, and hope to continue the growth and innovation even after the hit of the pandemic.”

“Despite the pandemic, this year we received a record number of self-nominations from both suppliers and operators, which demonstrates that the global gaming industry did not slow down at all,” he added.

Two new categories have been added this year: LATAM Property of the Year and Payment Solution of the Year, in order to recognize the growing LATAM market, and the importance of the payments sector, respectively.

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas are powered by leading B2B gaming publications Gaming America and Gambling Insider, in association with the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) and independently adjudicated by KPMG. BetConstruct is the event’s lead partner and category sponsors include IGT, Interblock, Connective Games, Paysafe, Scientific Games, Evolution, Casino Trac, FDJ Gaming Solutions, Aristocrat, Greentube and Continent 8 Technologies.

Winners are chosen by a panel of 100 C-level industry executives and will be announced at a luncheon ceremony on the Monday of G2E, October 4, at The Sands Expo.

The full Shortlist is available to read below.
