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.

Gambling Insider and Gaming America 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. I have every faith in the industry performing well after the repercussions it’s had and it’s great to finally have the shows back up and running again.”

For over 20 years, G2E has offered an informative, efficient and gratifying means to connect and showcase innovation in the gaming industry, and hosting the prestigious Global Gaming Awards is certainly one of them.

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas recognise 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.

Two new categories have been created specifically for the event: LATAM Property of the Year and Payment Solution of the Year.

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas are powered by leading B2B gaming publications Gambling Insider and Gaming America, 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.
