Global Gaming Awards Americas 2025: A revised list of categories is available when the nominations season opens.

The top operators and suppliers from throughout the Americas will be honored at the industry's most prestigious Awards, which will return to Las Vegas in October. 

Gambling Insider is happy to announce that the Global Gaming Awards Americas 2025 nomination period is officially open. Businesses have until May 8th to submit nominations for as many categories as they like on globalgamingawards.com/vegas/2025/. 

The Global Gaming Awards' event manager, Mariya Savova, stated, "Our team is especially excited about this edition of the Global Gaming Awards Americas because we have refreshed the categories list this year." 

In order to honor the top Class II and Class III suppliers, the Land-Based Supplier of the Year category is being divided into two categories. 

In other areas, we've introduced the Casino Services Supplier of the Year category, which will honor vendors who introduce innovative technology to the gaming floor. 

Finally, she stated, "We anticipate receiving nominations from digital operators, particularly from the booming Brazilian market, for the LATAM & Caribbean Operator of the year category." 

We respectfully request that businesses include a brief (480 characters maximum) statement outlining their accomplishments over the previous 12 months in their nominations. These accomplishments must be connected to the US, Canada, and/or LATAM markets, regardless of whether they come from the land-based or digital sectors. Generic company profiles and accomplishments outside of the Americas are not likely to get you a spot on the final shortlist, therefore we advise against using them. 

In August, the companies that made the short list will be contacted and requested to provide a brief statement explaining why they think they should win. 

In September, the whole Shortlist—which includes an explanation of each company's and individual's selection—will be made public. 

Only one executive from each organization may vote, and more than 100 C-level business executives will select the winners. KPMG will serve as the impartial voting judge once more. 

On October 6, the first day of G2E, the awards ceremony will take place.
