The Global Gaming Awards Asia will return this May for its second iteration. This follows the inaugural Awards for companies active in the Asia-Pacific region in 2022, a virtual event, which included nine categories.
The most prestigious Awards in the gaming industry, the Global Gaming Awards are the most reputable due to their strict nomination and voting processes. Each company and individual is always nominated for a specific reason, which is released in the public domain. Furthermore, winners are chosen by a panel of C-level industry executives, with the judging process adjudicated by KPMG in the Crown Dependencies. This adjudication process is to ensure full fairness and transparency.
As always, the Global Gaming Awards will be powered by Gambling Insider. The categories for last year’s Global Gaming Awards Asia will be the same this year, and they include:
- Casino Operator of the year
- Casino Supplier of the year
- Integrated Resort of the year
- Casino Product of the year
- Table Game of the year
- Corporate Social Responsibility of the year
- Digital Operator of the year
- Digital Supplier of the year
- Executive of the year
All members of the Judging Panel for the Global Gaming Awards Asia 2023 will be specialists in the Asian market, as they were for the inaugural year. Judges for the Global Gaming Awards Asia 2022 included the likes of Light & Wonder’s Asia Managing Director, Ken Jolly; Interblock’s President of Asia Pacific, Michael Hu; Galaxy Entertainment Group’s SVP of Table Games, Jason Barry and Sportradar’s Managing Director of Asia Pacific, Oscar Brodkin, among other high-profile Judges.
