Best of the Best
ICE Totally Gaming Awards to recognize excellence
The second year of the ICE Totally Gaming Awards brings many changes to the program, in addition to the venue. Held on the evening of February 4, the day before the trade show kicks off, the Totally Gaming Awards this year will be held in the impressive surroundings of Canary Wharf. Sponsored by Novomatic, the program will include a gourmet meal along with entertainment. But that won’t take away from the focus of the evening, according to Kate Chambers, the show’s director of gaming. “The purpose of the awards remains the same—to recognize excellence, professionalism and best practice across gaming in all of its various formats and delivery channels,” she says. “I look forward to welcoming Novomatic, its guests and the gaming industry at large to what is the official and most enjoyable way to launch Totally Gaming week in London.” ICE joined with the European Casino Association, the Remote Gambling Association and the National Casino Industry Forum in making valuable changes to the awards, to elevate the program’s importance and visibility.
