The most prestigious Awards in the gaming industry are celebrating their tenth edition this year.

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas are back this October, and Gaming America is pleased to share that the nominations window is now open. Self-nominations are important as they help us to produce the reason for a company being shortlisted - a key feature of our awards. 

The Global Gaming Awards are the most prestigious in the gaming industry due to the strict rules and procedures put in place during the shortlisting and voting processes. Companies can only be nominated once per category, meaning that if they have multiple brands, only one of said brands can be nominated in a particular category. 

In addition, every company and individual are nominated for a specific reason which is made publicly available. Finally, the winners are chosen by over 100 C-level industry executives with only one executive per company allowed to participate in the voting process.  

And if that’s not enough, KPMG in the Crown Dependencies independently adjudicates the voting process to ensure all is fair. 

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas will recognize the strongest performers from the Americas across the previous 12 months. The event will have 14 company categories rewarding operators and suppliers, and one category dedicated to the individual whose efforts drive their company and the industry forward – American Executive of the year. 

“This year’s Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas are extra special for us,” said Gaming America and Gambling Insider Editor-in-Chief Julian Perry. 

“Not only has the US gaming industry shown phenomenal growth, but this year we’re celebrating the tenth edition of our flagship Awards event. 

“We didn’t know what to expect when we first launched the Awards in 2014 and it’s amazing to see the respect our event has gained, the companies’ excitement to just be nominated, the executives who agree to participate in the Judging Panel, and the number of people who attend the presentation ceremony,” he added. 

Companies have until May 12 to submit their self-nominations. To do so, simply head to globalgamingawards.com/vegas/2023/ and fill in the short form. We kindly ask that you send us a short (480 characters max) statement outlining what your company has achieved in the Americas market in the past year. If you can, tell us something that we wouldn’t necessarily know you have done.  

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas are powered by leading B2B-gaming publications Gaming America and Gambling Insider. KPMG in the Crown Dependencies is the official voting adjudicator. 

BetConstruct is the Lead Partner of the event, and category sponsors include IGT, Bragg Gaming, Aristocrat Gaming, Interblock Gaming, CasinoTrac, Light & Wonder and EGT. 

Shortlisted companies will be contacted in July, and the winners will be revealed at a luncheon ceremony on Day 1 of G2E 2023, October 9.
