The European Casino Awards are an established industry event that annually recognizes outstanding achievements in all areas of the casino and gaming industry, including products, software, operators, and social initiatives. An independent jury of experts evaluates the nominations according to strict criteria before selecting the winners.

For NOVOMATIC, the four awards are not only proof of technical excellence, but also a strategic signal: as an innovator, system integrator, and responsible market participant in the changing world of gaming.
