In just a few months, the Global Gaming Awards Americas will return. The Global Gaming Awards are the most prestigious and trusted Awards in the industry and are respected by industry heavyweights due to the strict shortlisting and voting processes put in place. Companies are shortlisted 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 decide the winners, with KPMG US independently adjudicating the voting process to ensure full transparency and fairness.

Now in its 13th year, the Global Gaming Awards 2026 will once again take place in Las Vegas on the Monday during Global Gaming Expo (G2E), to honor and reward the industry’s top performers across North and South America over the past 12 months. The self-nomination window for this year’s event opened on April 27 and will run through June 26, prior to the official shortlist being finalized on July 27. At that time, shortlisted companies will be notified and invited to submit a brief supporting statement, all leading up to the celebration on September 28 from The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
