The Global Gaming Awards Americas celebrate the outstanding achievements of operators, suppliers, and industry leaders from across North and South America. The winners will be revealed during an exclusive luncheon ceremony on Monday, September 28, the opening day of Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas.
Following a comprehensive review process, the final Shortlist has been selected from hundreds of self-nominations, alongside recommendations from our panel of trusted industry consultants and experts.
Shortlisted companies and individuals will be contacted by the Global Gaming Awards team in the next 2-3 weeks and invited to submit a short supporting statement. These statements give nominees the opportunity to highlight more achievements that make them deserving of the award and will form part of the voting process.
"The caliber of this year's nominations was exceptional and reflects the strength and diversity of today's Americas gaming industry," said Mariya Savova, Marketing Director of Global Gaming Insider.
"Every company and individual on this year's Shortlist has earned their place through an incredibly competitive selection process. Huge congratulations to everyone who has been shortlisted. We look forward to sharing your achievements with our stellar judging panel and celebrating the very best of the Americas gaming industry in Las Vegas this September."
The Global Gaming Awards are widely recognized as the industry's most prestigious accolades and remain the only awards program to publish the reason behind every company and individual's nomination. Those reasons will appear in the official Global Gaming Awards Americas Shortlist magazine, which will be published on Global Gaming Insider's website at the start of September.
As always, the winners will be determined by an independent panel of C-level executives from across the Americas gaming industry. To guarantee complete fairness and transparency, the voting process will once again be independently adjudicated by KPMG US.
The winners will be announced during an invite-only ceremony on Monday, September 28, 2026, the opening day of G2E, at the Venetian Las Vegas.
The Global Gaming Awards are powered by Global Gaming Insider. Interblock is the Lead Partner of the Awards, while Aristocrat Gaming, NOVOMATIC, Playtech, and Soft2Bet are Gold Sponsors.
SPRIBE, Greentube, and MGR Casino Chairs support the event as Silver Sponsors. KPMG US serves as the official voting adjudicator.
Following the Americas event, the Global Gaming Awards will return to Barcelona in January 2027 for the Europe, Middle East & Africa edition, before celebrating the Asia-Pacific region next June.
