The Gaming Intelligence Awards 2021 looks at various categories across the iGaming and sport betting industry into pre-selected global regions, which are Europe, North America, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. It then breaks down each region into 8 or 9 categories and awards the brand/company performing at the top of its game and noticeably above the rest in its respective category.
Our news team was quick off the mark to produce a full breakdown of all 5 regions, giving you the winner for various iGaming awards across these regions. Awards include the game of the year, iGaming Supplier and iGaming Operator, Sports Betting Operator and Sports Betting Supplier, Innovation Awards, and Lottery Operator as well as Lottery Supplier awards.
Breaking Down this year’s Gaming Intelligence Awards 2021
The main markets we concentrate on here at Livecasinocentral.com are Europe for the Republic of Ireland and the UK, then we also cover Canada, so North America, then South Africa, and finally Australia and New Zealand, which falls under the Asia-Pacific region. As for Asian markets, we do not focus on any of the sub-continents here. However, we did notice Casumo Japan mentioned as a brand to watch, which we agree with as we have Casumo live casino review and our review team rated the casino highly.
So which brands from the live dealer circuits performed well?
- OneTouch: One of the new arrivals in the live dealer vertical, OneTouch is one to watch out for even though it didn’t win a ‘one to watch out for award’. It is currency performing well with its slots and live table game delivery in the Asia Pacific market, and we are seeing this brand pop in Curacao eGaming licensed online casinos.
- Scientific Games: The new owner of Authentic Gaming, and the pioneering force that is driving Evolution’s award-winning lightning roulette title into land-based casinos, the brand deserves a mention. It may not have picked up awards specifically for iGaming, the brand wiped the floor with lottery supplier awards across 3 out of the regions covered by the Gaming Intelligence Awards 2021. This is a good sign for the future because the brand may well be picking up iGaming awards soon enough for its excellence in live casino gaming supply. Its lottery awards will go with the latest Multi-channel supplier award at the EGR B2B 2021 and its Internation Gaming Awards 2021 Sustainable Business award.
- Evolution: In Europe, Evolution is truly a dominant force, and once again it picked up yet another award to add to its 2021 yearly haul of awards – namely its double win at the EGR B2B 2021 picking up the Innovation in RNG casino software and the Live casino supplier of the year awards. And in this year’s Gaming Intelligence Awards 2021 the brand took down the iGaming Supplier award for Europe, which covers the Evolution live dealer platform and its other RNG endeavours with brands like NetEnt, Red Tiger, and BTG.
- Pragmatic Play: Not only is Pragmatic Play a formidable force in Europe in the live casino, video slots, and bingo arenas, it is also one of the top iGaming suppliers in the Latin American market, hence it picked up the iGaming Supplier award for its multi-channel efforts, while from its video slots division, the brand won the ‘Latin America Game of the Year’ with it impressive Gates of Olympus video slot title.
