The Global Gaming Awards Americas 2025 rolled out the red carpet on 6 October 2025 at The Venetian Las Vegas, just before the G2E expo floor opened. Now in its twelfth year, the awards continue to put a spotlight on achievements across land-based and digital gaming.
The 2025 awards opened a new hand of categories, reflecting trends shaping the region. Nominees were carefully dealt in the official Shortlist magazine, showing the merits behind each selection.
Winners were chosen by a panel of senior executives, whose decades of experience ensured the results weren't left to chance. The voting process was independently monitored by KPMG US, making certain the outcomes were above board.
Rick Arpin, Managing Partner of KPMG US' Las Vegas office, presented winners alongside Event Manager Mariya Savova.
The Awards were hosted at The Venetian during G2E's 25th anniversary, with Lead Partner BetConstruct and category sponsors, including Interblock, Spribe, Aristocrat, GammaSweep, Novomatic, Soft2Bet and Playtech.
