The Global Gaming Awards are recognised as the industry’s most prestigious accolades, underpinned by a strict and transparent shortlisting and voting process.
Now in its fifth edition, the Asia-Pacific event continues to highlight excellence across the industry. From land-based and digital operators to suppliers, executives and innovators, the Awards celebrate those driving progress across the region.
Each nominee has been selected based on their achievements in APAC over the past 12 to 18 months, following a rigorous process that includes submissions from companies, in-depth research by the Global Gaming Insider team, and consultation with independent industry experts.
This year’s winners will be announced during the SiGMA Asia Summit in Manila, with the ceremony taking place on 2 June 2026. Tables for the presentation ceremony are now available to reserve via the Awards’ official website.
Mariya Savova, Marketing Director of Global Gaming Insider, commented:
“The Asia-Pacific region continues to set the pace for growth in our industry, which is clearly reflected in the strength and diversity of this year’s Shortlist. Finalising the nominees is never easy, and this year was no exception. We are proud to recognise the companies and individuals who are pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional results across APAC.”
Voting is now underway, with a panel of senior industry executives set to determine the winners in each category, including Rebecca Kingswell (Managing Director, APAC, TCSJOHNHUXLEY), Akiko Takahashi (EVP, Chief of Staff to the Chairman and CEO, Melco Resorts & Entertainment), Betty Zhao (Senior Vice President of International Operations, Aruze Gaming Global) and Jerry Chan (EVP, Casino Operations, Okada Manila). KPMG US will once again act as the official voting adjudicator, ensuring the process remains transparent and fair.
