Gaming and Technology Awards nominations requested

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Global Gaming Business magazine and Spectrum Gaming Group are requesting nominations for the fourth annual Gaming and Technology Awards. The Awards will be presented at the International Casino Exhibition in London in January 2007.

Nominations are being accepted in three categories:

-- Best Consumer-Service Technology

-- Best Productivity-Enhancement Technology

-- Best Slot Product

This year, the organizers have expanded the number of judges from three to five. The judges are: John-Martin Meyer, President, Global Gaming Initiatives; Robert Russell, Editor, Michigan Gaming Law Newsletter, and Governmental and Business Consultant, Fraser Trebilcock Davis & Dunlap, P.C., Detroit; Marcus Suan, Director of Slot Operations, Boyd Gaming; Bostjan Torkar, Slot Manager, HIT Hotel Casino Perla, Slovenia; and Claudia Winkler, President, GHI Solutions Inc. in Las Vegas. Nominees for the award will be evaluated during the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) on November 14-16, 2006 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Judges will visit the booths of the nominating companies at G2E to evaluate the products and/or services. Companies who are not exhibiting at G2E or do not want to be judged at the show can also make nominations.

"Awards are meaningful when the judges are knowledgeable and take their task seriously. These judges are considered the best in their respective fields, and these awards will reflect their standards of excellence," said Roger Gros, editor of Global Gaming Business magazine, which administers the awards program.

"The Gaming and Technology Awards shine a spotlight on technology providers that demonstrate that rare combination of innovation and an understanding of the marketplace," said Michael Pollock, managing director of Spectrum Gaming Group and publisher of Michael Pollock's Gaming Industry Observer.

Nominations can be made until November 7, 2006 for consideration at G2E. Final submissions are due November 17, 2006. Winners will be announced in the January issue of Global Gaming Business magazine and the award presentations will take place at the stands of the winners at the ICE show in January for display to all ICE attendees.

Six sets of nomination forms and printed material must be submitted to Global Gaming Business magazine for consideration. Companies that want to submit nominations for these awards should contact David Coheen at Global Gaming Business magazine at 702-248-1565 x227 or dcoheen@ggbmagazine.com.
