The eleventh annual Global Gaming Awards Americas will recognize and reward the gaming industry's strongest performers across the previous 12 months. These are the most prestigious and trusted Awards in the industry and have gained respect amongst industry heavyweights, due to the strict rules and procedures put in place.
Companies are always nominated based on merit and the reason for their nomination is made public in the official Shortlist magazine. A panel of over 100 C-level executives from the industry decides the winners, with KPMG in the Crown Dependencies independently adjudicating the voting process to ensure full transparency and fairness.
The Global Gaming Awards Americas are powered by leading B2B-gaming publications Gambling Insider and Gaming America.
