GGA London Shortlist 2022
Editor's Letter
Finally, we are due to be back in London, back at the Hippodrome Casino and back hosting the Global Gaming Awards in person. Following a successful return to G2E for the Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas, we are thrilled to welcome back our European and international industry peers, To celebrate the successes of our sector’s finest.
And, given the challenging circumstances of the last two years, there is plenty to celebrate. The land-based side of the industry could not have been dealt a worse hand with regards to the Covid-19 pandemic; but the resilience shown by the sector is embodied by the fact we are due to host this Ceremony back at the Hippodrome – which is in full flow and welcoming guests on a daily basis.
Naturally, online gaming has had a much different experience over the past two years; but there is still much to recognise within this vertical at the Global Gaming Awards. Considering the huge growth digital gaming has seen, it has taken even greater efforts to stand out within these categories. That’s why this year’s online winners can say with pride that they have earned their Awards more than ever before.
The Global Gaming Awards London are in their fifth instalment (fourth in person, after last year’s virtual edition) and the standard of nominees simply gets higher every time. This year, we are delighted to welcome back the Casino of the Year category, given the fact land-based casinos are now reopened for business.
As for the value of our Awards to their eventual winners, and even those who achieved making the final Shortlist, the rigorous nature of the process and the prestige associated within the Ceremony are unparalleled. To this end, we must thank our 60 esteemed Judges, our Nomination Panel, the Gambling Insider Editorial Team, our Lead Partner BetConstruct, our Adjudicator KPMG in the Crown Dependencies and all those who took part. These are truly the best Awards in the industry; and we aim to reward only the most-deserving winners.
