The Shortlist celebrates the best performing companies from the gaming industry across the Americas.

After revealing the Shortlist for the American Executive of the year category earlier this month, Gaming America is happy to share that the full Shortlist for the tenth annual Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas is now available.  

For a decade, the Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas have rewarded the best performers from the gaming industry in the Americas. These are the most trusted and prestigious awards in the industry due to the strict shortlisting and voting processes. 

Every company and individual, nominated across the 15 categories, is shortlisted for a specific reason which you can see in the official Shortlist magazine further below.  

The Shortlist was decided after the Gaming America & Gambling Insider teams carefully reviewed self-nominations submitted by companies. Additionally, we asked independent industry consultants for their expert opinion and recommendations. 

“There are so many companies from the Americas gaming industry that are thriving and constantly innovating,” said Julian Perry, Editor-in-Chief of Gaming America & Gambling Insider

“This year it was particularly hard to narrow the Shortlist down to just 10 companies per category, so those who were shortlisted should be extremely proud. 

“Congratulations to every company and individual who made it to this year’s Shortlist. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in three weeks’ time,” he added. 

The winners will be decided by a panel of 100 C-level industry executives, including Justin Carter, SVP Regional Operations at PENN Entertainment; Allie Evangelista, President at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol; Carsten Koerl, CEO & Founder of Sportradar, Jenny Holaday, President of Encore Boston Harbor, to name a few. 

The voting process is once again independently adjudicated by KPMG in the Crown Dependencies. The winners will be revealed at a luncheon ceremony at The Venetian Las Vegas on October 9. Companies can still purchase a table at the event via the Global Gaming Awards official website. The event will be live-streamed for those who can’t be in attendance.  

BetConstruct is the Lead Partner of the Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas 2023. Category sponsors include: IGT, Bragg Gaming, Continent 8 Technologies, Anaxi, Spribe, Aristocrat Gaming, Interblock, Light & Wonder, bet365, NOVOMATIC, Play’n GO, Table Trac, Inc., the SiGMA Foundation, EGT and Kambi.
