Global Gaming Awards 2015 have begun recruiting their panel of 50 judges.

Following a successful inaugural awards, the 2015 edition will once again feature 50 leading gaming industry executives from a diverse range of sectors and geographies.

Most will be approached directly by organisers, although a number are likely to put themselves forward for the position, or be nominated by their companies.

Judges will vote across 12 categories covering both the land-based and digital industries, selecting their winner and runner-up from a shortlist of 10 companies or individuals in each category.

The Global Gaming Awards are brought to the industry in partnership with the American Gaming Association, Reed Exhibitions and G2E Vegas.

The 2014 awards were presented across two memorable Las Vegas ceremonies during G2E, with winners including renowned companies such as MGM Resorts International, Microgaming, 888 and Income Access.
