Today Gambling Insider hosted the second edition of the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific.
The event recognised the strongest performers over the last 12 months across the huge, diverse and dynamic Asia-Pacific region.
The Global Gaming Awards events in Las Vegas and London have gained the reputation of being the most prestigious awards in the industry as companies and individuals are always nominated for a specific reason which is made publicly available. The Asia-Pacific event is no exception. You can see this year’s full Shortlist on the Awards’ official site.
“Last year I said that despite Covid-19-related struggles, the gaming industry in Asia-Pacific still had plenty to celebrate. Well, this year there really is a lot to celebrate,” said Mariya Savova, Event Manager of the Global Gaming Awards.
“It was great to see so much engagement with our event from the industry this year. We received so many self-nominations from companies, and additionally, we asked independent industry consultants for their opinion.
“The final Shortlist makes it clear that the gaming industry in Asia-Pacific is back on the rise and has an exciting future, ” she added.
The winners of the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific 2023 were chosen by over 30 senior executives from the APAC gaming industry, with KPMG in the Crown Dependencies independently adjudicating the voting process to ensure fairness.
“Huge congratulations to all winners as well as to all companies and individuals who made it to the Shortlist,” said Julian Perry, Editor-in-Chief of Gambling Insider.
“Following a challenging couple of years, it was great to see the APAC gaming industry return to profitability. We are already looking forward to what the industry there will achieve over the next 12 months,” he added.
The Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific 2023 are powered by Gambling Insider. The event’s Lead Partner is BetConstruct. Other event sponsors include Interblock Gaming, Digitain, Light & Wonder, Upgaming, Pragmatic Play and Spribe.
Our team would like to express its thanks to Micky Swindale, Partner at KPMG’s Global Gaming Team, the rest of the KPMG in the Crown Dependencies team involved in the adjudication process, all event sponsors, and all the executives who dedicated time to choose the winners.
