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.
“As always, it’s quite difficult to evaluate the most innovative and unique products. The judges for the GGB Gaming & Technology Awards are some of the most skilled, dedicated and respected executives in the business, so their opinion carries a great deal of weight. 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.
The expanded panel of judges for the awards for 2024 included: Claudia Winkler, president, GHI Solutions; Rob Russell, gaming analyst, Regulatory Management Counselors, P.C.; Frank Neborsky, general manager, the Downs at Albuquerque; Gerhard Burda, president and CEO, ESCAPES Advisory Services; Cliff Paige, slot director, South Point Casino Resort, Las Vegas; Skyelar Perkins, corporate slot director, Choctaw Casinos; Missy Stanisz, director of sports wagering & interactive gaming, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI); Itsik Akiva, CEO, Headway Consulting; and Robin Villareal, chief information officer, Gila River Resorts and Casinos.
