AGS announced on Tuesday that its Table Products division won two key industry awards this week during the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. AGS' Bonus Spin Xtreme progressive side bet system won the Gold award in the Gaming & Technology Awards, while the company's Director of Sales - Table Games Jamie Smith was named among the 'Emerging Leaders of Gaming 40 Under 40'.
AGS' Senior Vice President of Table Products John Hemberger, said: "We couldn't be more thrilled that Bonus Spin Xtreme got the recognition it deserved. From the get-go, this product has been a game-changer that has helped AGS in its pursuit to be the No. 1 table game progressives company in the world. We are also proud to recognize the captain of our Sales team, Jamie Smith, as a rising star in gaming. Jamie's positive energy and laser focus on winning have fueled the efforts of our Sales team and our ability to grow our footprint with leading-edge products like Bonus Spin Xtreme. Her leadership will continue to drive us forward as we capitalize on the significant greenfield in front of us."
The annual GGB Gaming & Technology Awards are among the industry's most prestigious awards for technology, products, and services that enhance the gaming experience. Last year, Bonus Spin Xtreme won the Silver award for 'Best Table-Game Product or Innovation,' and this year the judges selected it to win the top Gold award. Bonus Spin Xtreme was also shortlisted in the 2021 Global Gaming Awards as 'Product Innovation of the Year', recognized because it is the only table progressive that can link all tables within a casino and offer a single shared progressive jackpot.
At this year's G2E, customers will see Bonus Spin Xtreme integration onto community-style games like roulette, craps, and baccarat.
The Emerging Leaders of Gaming program through The Innovation Group annually honors young professionals making significant impacts in the casino gaming industry. Smith was selected from more than 125 candidates nominated and is being recognized for being well equipped to lead the industry out of these extraordinary times and uniquely informed to direct its future.
