This event is designed to recognize excellence in slot machine game development within the land-based casino gaming industry, iGaming, and social casino sector. All category winners were announced last Thursday, February 24 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“On behalf of everyone at Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, I would like to congratulate all of the individual award winners, as well as this year’s Hall of Fame Class,” said Todd Eilers, Principal at Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC. “I would also like to thank our Board of Advisors, official voters, VIPs, and our event sponsors. It was a great night celebrating the industry’s top games and people.”
