Winners of 23rd Annual GGB Gaming & Technology Awards Announced

The winners of the 23rd edition of gaming’s most respected technology awards were announced today by Global Gaming Business magazine. The GGB Gaming & Technology Awards are the only North American awards program that recognizes excellence in innovation and practical application in all gaming disciplines. Hundreds of gaming products and services were entered this year into this important competition. This year’s competition included a new category for the best sports betting product as well as three additional judges.

“The technology associated with the quality of the nominations for the GGB Gaming & Technology Awards is breathtaking,” says Roger Gros, publisher of Global Gaming Business magazine. “The innovations represented have accelerated rapidly as gaming seeks more unique and interesting ways to create products and services that please customers.

The winners of this year’s edition beat out some amazing competition and demonstrated true innovation.”

The awards will be presented on the exhibit floor of the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), October 9-12, 2023 at the Venetian Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
