Now in their sixth year, the Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas recognise and reward operational excellence displayed across a 12-month period.

Being nominated for an Award is an outstanding achievement and is clear proof that a gaming industry company is among the very best in the world.

The Shortlist has been compiled after a self-nomination process, which was followed by recommendations made by the Nominations Panel and the Gambling Insider editorial team.

Nominated companies will now have the opportunity to submit a supporting statement to the Judging Panel, which is made up of some of the industry's most esteemed executives and will feature more than 100 individuals this year.

The Judging Panel will then cast their votes, before the winners are revealed at a luncheon ceremony at the Sands Expo Convention Center on Monday 14 October, as part of the G2E show.

The full list of nominees will be revealed in this year's Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas Shortlist magazine, which will be sent to all Gambling Insider members and will be distributed at G2E.

You can read the magazine online by visiting this website when it is live and by downloading the Gambling Insider app, available on iOS and Android.

The Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas are powered by Gambling Insider in association with G2E. The voting process is independently adjudicated by KPMG Isle of Man to ensure full transparency and the Awards' Lead Partner is BetConstruct.
